Collective Security Agreement

A Collective Security Agreement is a treaty among countries to work together in defense, agreeing that an attack on one member is considered an attack on all. This means that if one country is attacked, the others will respond collectively to protect and defend it, enhancing their collective security. It fosters cooperation and deterrence, making it less likely for enemies to target any member, knowing they will face a united front. Examples include NATO, where member states commit to mutual defense to maintain peace and stability.
