The states whose national security is threatened sometimes violate international law by seeking to maintain their national security. Thus, the treaty system took national security into account. Examining the provisions of the treaty system on the invocation of national security, the rule of recourse to national security was not inferred, but by analyzing the exceptions of national security in the treaty system, the two concepts of national security protection and national defense security were invoked. "Protective national security exception" is a set of rules that have been formulated to protect individuals against governments' self-centeredness in the field of human rights, and "national security defensive exception" is the authorization that international law allows countries to resort to national security. It gives self-defense against acute threats. The purpose of this research is to answer the question whether countries can ignore international law in a limited and temporary manner citing their national security. It can be confirmed that Governments can violate international law in a controlled manner without being held accountable for their self-preservation, and this violation may occur against any international entity. The sum of these two mechanisms expresses the concept of the exceptionalism system of national security. Implicit and explicit exceptions to states' recourse to national security (exceptionalism) can be summed up under the legal regime of national security.
