Just War or Just Peace?

Humanitarian Intervention and International Law

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book, which won an ASIL Certificate of Merit in 2002, critically examines the right of humanitarian intervention, asserted most spectacularly by NATO during its 1999 air strikes over Kosovo. The UN Charter prohibits the unilateral use of force, but there have long been arguments that such a right might exist as an exception to this rule, or linked to the changing role of the Security Council. Through an analysis of these questions, the book puts NATO's action in
Kosovo in its proper legal and historical perspective.
