article 2, section 4 of the u.n. charter is generally considered to be "jus cogens" (literally: "compelling law", in practice: "higher international law"), and prohibits all un members from exercising "the "threat" or "use" of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state". but in the modern framework of the un charter, it is the phrase "armed attack occurs" in article 51 that draws the line between legitimate and illegitimate military force. some scholars believe it is reasonable to assume that if no armed attack has yet occurred that no automatic justification for preemptive 'self-defense' has yet been made 'legal' under the un charter. in order to be justified as an act of self-defense, two conditions must be fulfilled which are widely regarded as necessary for its justification. the first of these is that actor must have believed that the threat is real, as opposed to (merely) perceived. the second condition is that the force used in self-defense must be proportional to the harm which the actor is threatened. when it comes to a situation where an armed attack is considered as a self-defense, it usually narrows realistic options for avoidance by nonviolent means such as negotiation, retreat, or calling upon higher authorities (such as the police or the un).

a "party vote" is the most common method, and occurs for non-conscience issues and some conscience issues. in this method, the clerk of the house reads out each party's name in order of the number of seats each party has, starting with the largest party, followed by any independent members and any members wishing to cross the floor. a member of the party (usually a whip) will respond to their party's name by stating how many members of the party are in favour or opposed. the clerk tallies up the votes and gives the results to the speaker, who declares the result. a "split party vote" is a variation of the party vote, used for some conscience issues. the main difference is voting members state how many members of their party are in favour and how many members are opposed, and once the voting is completed, must table a list of the members of the party and how they voted.
