Caroline test

The Caroline test is a 19th-century formulation of customary international law—reaffirmed by the Nuremberg Tribunal after World War II—which states that the necessity for preemptive self-defence must be "instant, overwhelming, and leaving no choice of means, and no moment for deliberation." The test takes its name from the Caroline affair.
