Abstract

NATO decisions are the expression of the collective will of its member governments. Under the rule, no Ally can be forced to approve an action against its will. Consensus rule allows NATO to respect distinctive national legislation. Through the rule, NATO can build political and military solidarity. The consensus rule forces Allies to undertake the widest possible consultations to build support for their ideas.
