Decree-Law: Concept and Legal Basis

Decree-law: The executive is empowered to issue rules with the force of law, subject to control by the Poder Legislativo (the legislature). Concept: Article 86 EC.

Article 2(4) of the UN Charter prohibits the use of force by states in international relations. This prohibition is qualified in scope: it affects only the obligations of States, and the use of force must be incompatible with the purposes of the United Nations.

It is possible to interpret the Charter to make Article 2(4) compatible with the legitimate struggle of colonial peoples for independence. This compatibility arises because the struggle for independence is not incompatible with the purposes of the Charter, and the right...
