    Depends what your definition of defence is though, doesn’t it. NATO could just be considered to be defence of peace in which case yeah you could have a mandate to intervene in certain situations and it would still be in defensive peace.

    I think you’re trying to make a distinction without a purpose.

      defence of peace

      Ah, like the US.

      Yes, under this ‘definition’ they could be intervening all over the world, including in Iran.

        No under the NATO definition of peace. Don’t be moving the goal posts now.
