The Use of Force and International Law: The Impact Of The United States Upon The Jus Ad Bellum In The Post-cold War Era (The\ashgate International Law Ser.)

Synopsis

The Use of Force and International Law offers an authoritative overview of international law governing the resort to force. Looking through the prism of the contemporary challenges that this area of international law faces, including technology, sovereignty, actors, compliance and enforcement, this book addresses key aspects of international law in this area: the general breadth and scope of the prohibition of force, what is meant by 'force', the use of force through the UN and regional organisations, the use of force in peacekeeping operations, the right of self-defence and the customary limitations upon this right, forcible intervention in civil conflicts, the controversial doctrine of humanitarian intervention.

Suitable for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics and practitioners, The Use of Force and International Law offers a contemporary, comprehensive and accessible treatment of the subject. Follows a clear and accessible structure to better support lecturers teach their courses and aid student understanding.

Clearly lays out the distinction between concepts and terms to enable students to grasp the fundamental distinctions before delving deeper into the subject.

Comprehensive references to primary and secondary sources support student understanding of the breadth of legal resources in the field and aid further research.
