A comprehensive analysis into the lawfulness of state-sponsored targeted killings under international human rights and humanitarian law, this book examines treaties, custom and general principles of law to determine the normative paradigms which govern the intentional use of lethal force against selected individuals in law enforcement and the conduct of hostilities. It alse addresses the relevance of the law of interstate force to targeted killings, and the interrelation of the various normative frameworks which may simultaneously apply to operations involving the use of lethal force. Through a comprehensive analysis of treaties, custom and general principles of law in light of jurisprudence, doctrine and travaux preparatoires the author demonstrates that contemporary international law provides two distinct normative paradigms which govern targeted killings in situations of law enforcement and the conduct of hostilities. Based on the resulting normative paradigms, the author shows in what circumstances targeted killings may be considered as internationally lawful. The practical relevance of the various conditions and modalities are illustrated by reference to concrete examples of targeted killing from recent state practice. The book argues that any targeted killing not directed against a legitimate military target remains subject to the law enforcement paradigm, which imposes extensive restraints on the practice. Even under the paradigm of hostilities, no person can be lawfully liquidated without further considerations. As a form of individualized or surgical warfare, the method of targeted killing requires a "microscopic" interpretation of the law regulating the conduct of hostilities which leads to nuanced results reflecting the fundamental principles underlying international humanitarian law. The author concludes by highlighting and comparing the main areas of concern arising with regard to state-sponsored targeted killing under each normative paradigm and by placing the results of the analysis in the greater context of the rule of law. *The author has conceived and written this book in an entirely personal capacity and independently from his function as a Legal Adviser in the Legal Division of the ICRC. The opinions expressed therein are his own and do not necessarily correspond to those held by the ICRC or its Legal Division.

Understanding the global security environment and delivering the necessary governance responses is a central challenge of the 21st century. On a global scale, the central regulatory tool for such responses is public international law. But what is the state, role, and relevance of public international law in today''s complex and highly dynamic global security environment? Which concepts of security are anchored in international law? How is the global securityenvironment shaping international law, and how is international law in turn influencing other normative frameworks?The Oxford Handbook of the International Law of Global Security provides a ground-breaking overview of the relationship between international law and global security. It constitutes a comprehensive and systematic mapping of the various sub-fields of international law dealing with global security challenges, and offers authoritative guidance on key trends and debates around the relationship between public international law and global security governance. This Handbook highlights thecentral role of public international law in an effective global security architecture and, in doing so, addresses some of the most pressing legal and policy challenges of our time. The Handbook features original contributions by leading scholars and practitioners from a wide range of professional anddisciplinary backgrounds, reflecting the fluidity of the concept of global security and the diversity of scholarship in this area.

This book conducts an in-depth analysis into the lawfulness of State-sponsored targeted killings under international human rights and humanitarian law. It also addresses the relevance of the law of inter-state force to targeted killings, and the interrelation of the various normative frameworks which may simultaneously apply to operations involving the intentional use of lethal force. Through a comprehensive analysis of treaties, custom, and general principles of law in light of jurisprudence, doctrine, and travaux preparatoires the author demonstrates that contemporary international law provides two distinct normative paradigms which govern the use of lethal force in law enforcement and in the conduct of hostilities. Based on the resulting normative paradigms, the author shows in what circumstances targeted killings may be considered as internationally lawful. The practical relevance of the various conditions and modalities is illustrated by reference to concrete examples of targeted killing from recent State practice. In essence the book argues that any targeted killing not directed against a legitimate military target remains subject to the law enforcement paradigm, which imposes extensive restraints on the practice. Even under the paradigm of hostilities, no person can be lawfully liquidated without further considerations. As a form of individualized or surgical warfare, the method of targeted killing requires a 'microscopic' interpretation of the law regulating the conduct of hostilities which leads to nuanced results. The author concludes by highlighting and comparing the main areas of concern arising with regard to State-sponsored targeted killing under each normative paradigm and by placing the results of the analysis in the wider context of the rule of law.

Trial of Julian Assange

Nils Melzer, the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, uncovers a systematic campaign to persecute Assange. He reveals that Assange has faced grave and systematic due process violations, judicial bias, collusion and manipulated evidence. He has been the victim of constant surveillance, defamation and threats. Melzer also gathered together consolidated medical evidence that proves that the prison has suffered prolonged psychological torture. Melzer's compelling investigation puts the UK and US state into the dock, showing how, through secrecy, impunity and, crucially, public indifference, unchecked power reveals a deeply undemocratic system. Furthermore, the Assange case sets a dangerous precedent: once telling the truth becomes a crime, censorship and tyranny will inevitably follow.

"Julian Assange is seeking your protection."

Så löd rubriken på ett mejl som FN-specialrapportören om tortyr, Nils Melzer, fick i december 2018.

Till att börja med tog Nils Melzer inte denna förfrågan på allvar, eftersom han likt många andra uppfattade Wikileaksgrundaren som en våldtäktsman, spion, hackare och narcissist. Men några månader senare tvingades han att omvärdera sin uppfattning.

Efter att ha gått igenom tusentals sidor med dokument kom han fram till att de fyra direkt inblandade staterna - Ecuador, Storbritannien, Sverige och USA - ägnade sig åt "politisk förföljelse, allvarlig rättslig godtycklighet och avsiktlig tortyr och misshandel".

För att vidare utreda misstankarna intervenerade Nils Melzer officiellt hos de berörda regeringarna, men dessa avböjde att samarbeta med honom i enlighet med hans FN-mandat. Då bestämde han sig för att göra de omständigheter som hans anklagelser grundar sig på allmänt kända i formen av en bok.

I Fallet Julian Assange berättar Nils Melzer den häpnadsväckande historien om hur fyra demokratiska stater, genom sina regeringar, myndigheter och säkerhetstjänster och med hjälp av fogliga medier, under mer än tio års tid och med nästan alla tänkbara medel, jagar och försöker tysta en obekväm journalist. Som om de följt det amerikanska underrättelseföretaget Stratfors uppmaning från år 2010 om att Julian Assange skulle drivas "från land till land, genom allsköns anklagelser de närmaste 25 åren".

Enligt författaren kan fallet Assange visa sig vara inte bara vår tids största rättsskandal, utan också något som avslöjar djupa sprickor i själva den västerländska rättsstaten och demokratin.

I sin bok kastar Nils Melzer med hjälp av tidigare okända uppgifter nytt ljus över fallet Julian Assange - alltifrån våldtäktsanklagelserna och den svenska rättsapparatens agerande, över asylvistelsen på den ecuadorianska ambassaden i London till den efterföljande fängelsevistelsen och pågående rättegången med anledning av USA:s begäran att få Assange utlämnad.

Nils Melzer, Schweiz, är FN-specialrapportör om tortyr, professor i internationell rätt i Genève och Glasgow samt vice föreståndare för International Institute of Humanitarian Law i Sanremo, Italien. Tidigare har han varit säkerhetspolitisk rådgivare till den schweiziska regeringen och juridisk rådgivare till Internationella Rödakorskommittén (ICRC) i olika krigs- och krissituationer.

"Någon måste göra slut på mardrömmen"

När jag undersökte fallet Assange hade jag ofta ett intryck av att uppleva en modern iscensättning av Kejsarens nya kläder.

Vi känner alla till historien: Bedragare lurar kejsaren att skaffa sig nya kläder som de påstår är synliga för alla utom för de "dumma" och "odugliga". I själva verket är kläderna naturligtvis inte bara osynliga, de finns inte. Men då varken kejsaren eller hans underlydande vill framstå som dumma eller odugliga låtsas de som om de kunde se kläderna, och under en offentlig parad applåderar hela folket härskarens nya praktfulla kostymering. Tills plötsligt ett barn får lögnen att spricka genom att utropa: Men kolla då, han har ju ingenting på sig!

Så är det också i fallet Assange. Trots att de inblandade myndigheternas maktmissbruk blivit allt mer uppenbart har detta hittills nästan fullständigt förtigits såväl av de ledande medierna som av regeringar och den breda allmänheten.

I stället har man lydigt upprepat det officiella narrativet om Assange som våldtäktsman, hackare, spion och narcissist, en person som har oskyldiga människors blod på sina händer och som till slut måste få sitt rättmätiga straff.

Även här måste det till slut komma någon som fördomsfritt tittar närmare på saken och gör slut på denna mardröm genom att säga: Men kolla då, kejsaren har ju ingenting på sig!

Just detta, kära läsare, är syftet med denna bok.
