不可分割安全概念解析
質詢圍繞"不可分割安全"概念及其在俄烏戰爭中的應用。政府回應強調主權、自決和領土完整為國際法基本原則，俄方以不可分割安全為由入侵烏克蘭不被認可。核心爭議在於不可分割安全是否為國際法原則，政府明確否認其法律地位，指出該概念被俄美雙方引用但不具法律效力。
關鍵要點
- • 主權與自決為國際法基石
- • 俄烏戰爭違反國際法
- • 不可分割安全非法律原則
不可分割安全不能為侵略辯護
堅持國際法基本原則
“Indivisible Security is not of the same status as self-determination, sovereignty, or territorial integrity and the non-recourse to use of force.”

以下問題由維克拉姆·奈爾先生提出——
8. 請法律部長闡述他在2023年3月8日於ISEAS-尤索夫·伊沙克研究所研討會上發表的題為《俄烏戰爭與東南亞一週年：影響與展望》的演講中提及的“不可分割安全”概念。
穆拉利·皮萊先生（武吉巴督）：第8號問題。
法律部長（申慕達先生）：謝謝，副議長先生。我先從主權問題說起。自決權、主權和領土完整以及不訴諸武力是國際法的基本原則。這些原則載於聯合國憲章，193個國家是憲章的締約方，包括新加坡。
聯合國憲章第一條第二款規定，聯合國的宗旨之一是“發展基於對平等權利和民族自決原則的尊重的國家間友好關係，並採取其他適當措施加強普遍和平”。
第二條第一款規定，聯合國“基於其所有成員國主權平等的原則”。
第二條第四款規定，所有成員國“應在國際關係中避免對任何國家的領土完整或政治獨立進行威脅或使用武力……”。
第二條第七款規定，“本憲章任何內容均不得授權聯合國干涉任何國家本質上屬於其國內管轄範圍的事務……”。
俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭違反了這些國際法基本原則，包括自決權、主權、領土完整和不訴諸武力。在維克拉姆·奈爾先生提及的我的演講中，我認為我四次強調俄羅斯入侵是無法辯解的。
俄羅斯以“不可分割安全”為入侵烏克蘭的理由之一。正如我所說，“不可分割安全”不能成為俄羅斯入侵的理由。“不可分割安全”並不具有與自決權、主權、領土完整和不訴諸武力同等的地位。
“不可分割安全”我認為最好被理解為國際關係中被援引的一個概念。我指出，“不可分割安全”這一概念在某種形式上被俄羅斯和美國都曾援引。但這並不使其成為國際法原則，也未載於聯合國憲章。
此外，在我的演講中，我分享了關於烏克蘭局勢如何演變以及西方、北約和俄羅斯聯邦所扮演角色的多元觀點。結果是烏克蘭成為不幸的受害者，其人民付出了慘重代價。
副議長先生：無追加問題。
英文原文
SPRS Hansard · Fetched: 2026-05-02
The following question stood in the name of Mr Vikram Nair –
8 To ask the Minister for Law whether he can elaborate on the concept of “indivisible security” as referenced in his speech entitled “The Russia-Ukraine War and Southeast Asia One Year On: Implications and Outlook” that was delivered on 8 March 2023 at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute workshop.
Mr Murali Pillai (Bukit Batok) : Question No 8.
The Minister for Law (Mr K Shanmugam) : Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I will first start with the point of sovereignty. Self-determination, sovereignty and territorial integrity as well as the non-recourse to the use of force are fundamental principles of international law. These principles are enshrined in the UN Charter, and 193 states are party to the Charter, including Singapore.
Article 1(2) of the UN Charter states that one of the UN’s purposes is “[t]o develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace”.
Article 2(1) provides that the UN is “based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members”.
Article 2(4) provides that all Members “shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state …”.
Article 2(7) provides that “[n]othing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the [UN] to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state …”.
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine violates these basic principles of international law, including self-determination, sovereignty, territorial integrity and the non-recourse to use of force. In my speech that Mr Vikram Nair refers to, I think I said four times that the Russian invasion cannot be justified.
Russia has invoked Indivisible Security as among the reasons for the invasion of Ukraine. And as I have said, Indivisible Security cannot give grounds for the Russian invasion. Indivisible Security is not of the same status as self-determination, sovereignty, or territorial integrity and the non-recourse to use of force.
Indivisible Security is, I think, best characterised as a concept that is invoked in international relations. And I pointed out that the concept of Indivisible Security, in some form, has been invoked by both Russia and the United States. But that does not make it a principle of international law. And it is not set out in the UN Charter.
In addition, in my speech, I shared diverse views on how the situation in Ukraine unfolded and the roles of the West, NATO and the Russian Federation. The result is that Ukraine is the unfortunate victim and its people are paying a terrible price.
Mr Deputy Speaker : No supplementary questions.
