Regardless of that, given that nations are allowed some leeway in what is lawful and what isn't, this doesn't read as Strong, but Significant instead.
And you can expect Araraukar to find every possible wiggle room inch to strangle this out of existence in IC. But that's just RP and shouldn't have any effect on proposal text as such.
OOC: But even in NS, if a resolution allows for one thing (legitimate defense of others) and not another (defense of others when the defender thinks they are in the right, but they are [objectively]not), judges are not forced to accept the other as legal defense. I would say the problem you describe was much more relevant when the 'perceived threat' was still part of the proposal, since then in fact everyone taking part could have claimed self-defense. With the proposal text at hand, which only allows for defense against [objectively] acts of unlawful violence, I do not see the threat so much.
I cannot comment on the strenghth, but your reasoning seems sound.
