collective security

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia 0.06 sec.

collective security

System for achieving international stability by an agreement among all states to unite against any aggressor. Such a commitment was embodied in the post-World War I League of Nations and also in the United Nations (UN), although the League was not able to live up to the ideals of its founders, nor has the UN been able to do so.
