This comprehensive textbook offers a thorough and authoritative exploration of international law governing the use of force. After an introductory chapter that delves into the key considerations in identifying the law and potential changes to it, the book proceeds to provide a comprehensive examination of the scope and limitations of the prohibition on the threat or use of force. It also delves into the concept of force itself and its implications in various contexts, including the use of force by the United Nations and regional organizations, peacekeeping operations, the right of self-defense, the controversial right of humanitarian intervention, and forcible interventions in civil conflicts.
To ensure its relevance in the modern era, the textbook has been updated to include a greater focus on aspects such as cyber operations, the threat of force, and the human element in the use of force. Additionally, recent developments such as the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine have been incorporated to provide a contemporary perspective on the legal framework.
The book aims to address the contemporary legal framework through the lens of the challenges it currently faces, providing a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of international law governing the use of force. Whether you are a student, scholar, practitioner, or policymaker, this textbook is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their knowledge and understanding of this critical area of international law.
