This article addresses one of the most complex issues in international relations. What to do when confronted with probable force? One of the main issues that has been abused by great powers in the international community is that they resort to attack and war under the pretext of a possible backlash from the enemy. So this article is to answer this key question: what are the political and legal differences and how legitimate is the use of force in responding to force in the face of pre-emptive action, anticipatory self-defense, and preventive operations? The article tests this hypothesis that differences in each of the concepts based on probable legal response (anticipatory, pre-emptive and preventive), motivated to safeguard territory, national sovereignty, human rights protection and the pursuit of security and peace, the nature and form of potential aggression and threats existed, both potentially and imminently and the ambiguity in the reference and the criterion for the recognition of probable force, makes the legitimacy of the options in responding to it, confounded. The author is trying to analyze existing data using content analysis research method.
