Mutual Defence Clause

The Mutual Defence Clause is an agreement among countries to protect each other in case one of them is attacked. This means that if a member country is threatened, the others are committed to help defend it, which could involve military support or other forms of assistance. This clause aims to deter potential aggressors by demonstrating that an attack on one member could lead to a collective response from all. It is most notably included in organizations like NATO, where member nations pledge solidarity and support in defending each other’s sovereignty and security.
