19. Whenever there is clear evidence of hostile acts being carried out against one or more members of the United Federated Planets, the United Federated Planets Council is empowered to decide which actions are appropriate to deal with the situation, short of using armed force.

If such actions are considered inadequate to the existing threat, the United Federated Planets Council may then call upon Starfleet Command to restore peace and security.

Whenever there arises a conflict of interests between individual United Federated Planets members, the provisions and specifications of the Articles of the United Federated Planets shall take precedence.
