Motion qui, une fois adoptée, indique que le gouvernement a perdu la confiance de la Chambre. 4, record 1, French, - motion%20de%20censure
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le vote de censure, qu'on désigne aussi par le terme vote de défiance, met en cause la responsabilité du gouvernement et la confiance que les députés lui accordent. Un tel vote peut porter sur un projet de loi important, lié aux finances ou à la fiscalité, par exemple, ou encore sur une motion de censure, qu'on peut aussi appeler motion de défiance. Une motion de censure est une proposition déposée par un député de l'opposition qui met en cause la responsabilité du gouvernement et la confiance que les députés lui accordent. Lorsque la majorité des députés vote contre le gouvernement lors d'un vote de censure, ce gouvernement doit démissionner, et cette démission entraîne généralement la tenue d'élections générales. 5, record 1, French, - motion%20de%20censure

On ne doit pas confondre la motion de censure et la motion de blâme. La motion de blâme, une fois adoptée, n'entraîne pas nécessairement la démission du gouvernement ou de la personne visée, alors que la motion de censure, une fois adoptée, exige la démission du gouvernement. 6, record 1, French, - motion%20de%20censure

Las nociones de moción de censura y moción de no confianza han sido definidas de acuerdo al sistema parlamentario canadiense. El uso de estos términos puede ser diferente en los sistemas parlamentarios de países de habla hispana, en los cuales se usa el término moción de censura para condenar al Gobierno y obligarlo a renunciar. 2, record 1, Spanish, - moci%C3%B3n%20de%20no%20confianza

The level of latent aggression may, however, play a larger role in determining the reaction to some more limited provocation. 2, record 2, English, - aggression

It was the deliberations of [the third Special Committee] that finally achieved a definition acceptable to the international community as a whole and it was adopted without vote by the [General Assembly] in December, 1974. 1, record 2, English, - aggression
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
A term fundamental to international argument, which, since the First World War, has come to replace the idea of an "offensive" act. All attempts to arrive at a definition are motivated by the desire to outlaw aggressive war, under the supposition that if there were no aggressors, but only states for "self-defense", then there would be no wars. Aggression is, therefore, the initiating act expressive of an intention to fight. 2, record 2, English, - aggression

El término agresión, que surgió para indicar actos de violencia de un estado contra otro, es usado hoy en un sentido muy amplio, con referencia no solo a un ataque militar, sino a cualquier intervención "impropia" de un estado que perjudica a otro. De todos modos el término tiene una connotación negativa, por lo cual se usa para indicar las actividades de un estado enemigo, jamás el propio. 1, record 2, Spanish, - agresi%C3%B3n
