It was only during the Second World War that systematic reference started to be made to global collective security in constitutional and human rights contexts. There was a growing necessity to develop the concept of global collective security in the legal context, due to devastation, destruction, refugee crisis, and war crimes that perpetrated against humanity during the Second World War. Since then, global collective security has been gradually incorporated into legal contexts across the globe. But this process has been extremely slow, and therefore, nation states have considerably failed to realise and exercise their allegiance to global collective security. Today global collective security is central to the constitution of every nation state. For instance, global collective security is still not a part of our legal structures, and the analysis of global collective security as a legal and constitutional concept is in its relative infancy. The United Kingdom’s security jurisprudence is one of the most advanced in the world, but courts, legal stakeholders, scholars, and academic writers still struggle to give meaning to the concept of global collective security. This intensifies frequent legal complications and worsens inconsistencies when it comes to the practical implementation of the concept of global collective security.
