The use of anticipatory military actions or pre-emptive forces by states in the name of self-defence has long been a controversial decision that has elicited further analysis by the masses. Anticipatory attacks refer to any form of self-defence that is exercised before the enemy is able to impact you. Considering the distinction between preventive and pre-emptive force, this essay will aim to distinguish between small and large states in the use of pre-emptive force in self-defence. To conclude the hypothesis, three tests, namely the moral (philosophical) test, the legal test and the realist test, will be conducted to determine which size of state is more justifiable. This essay argues that the use of pre-emptive force is more justifiable for small states.
