What does Article 5 of the NATO treaty state?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. An attack on one member is an attack on all
- Step 1: NATO is a defensive alliance.
- Step 2: Article 5 is its collective defence clause.
Answer
An attack on one member is an attack on all.
Why not the others: Member states must spend 5% of their income on defence: Article 5 concerns collective defence. NATO must hold five-yearly elections: this is not in the treaty. Only the USA may use nuclear weapons: the treaty says nothing like this.
