Research Handbook on International Conflict and Security Law

Edited by Nigel D. White, Emeritus Professor of Public International Law, School of Law, University of Nottingham and Christian Henderson, Professor of International Law, University of Sussex, UK

'Featuring some of the field's most expert thinkers, this is an adroitly constructed volume of essays in ''conflict and security law''. The writing here offers a distillation of the major legal projects in the area while dissolving some of international law's most rigid demarcations (e.g. between war and peace, or the jus ad bellum and jus in bello).'--Gerry Simpson, University of Melbourne, Australia'Events of the past fifteen years have sharpened the focus on well-known issues in international conflict and security law. What responses to international terrorism are permissible? Can humanitarian intervention be justified under international law? The Research Handbook on International Conflict and Security Law addresses these and other debates across the areas of conflict prevention, use of force and post-conflict reconstruction, with the critical insight for which the contributors are known.'--James Crawford, University of Cambridge, UK
