Why is it important?
The intra-disciplinary approach we use in the book sets it apart from most other books and articles on the topic. It shows how the different areas of the law interact and influence each other in their application to situations involving the use of force, These include arms control law, the law governing the use of the international commons, the law of armed conflict and international human rights law in relation to the application of force and the law of international responsibility and criminal liability for breaches of the jus ad bellum
Perspectives
This book is aimed at multiple audiences. It is an original and hopefully worthwhile contribution that will be of interest to our academic colleagues. We have also attempted to make it useful to practitioners in assisting them to clear guidance on answering often hard questions. It is an accessible guide to the topic for (post)graduate students and PhD candidates engaged with the subject.
