This book offers a comprehensive argument for why pre-existing
international law on cluster munitions was inadequate to deal with
the full scope of humanitarian consequences associated with their
use. The book undertakes an interdisciplinary legal analysis of
restraints and prohibitions on the use of cluster munitions under
international humanitarian law, human rights law, and international
criminal law, as well as in relation to the recently adopted
Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). The book goes on to offer an
in-depth substantive and procedural analysis of the negotiations
which led to the 2008 CCM, in part based on the author's
experiences as an adviser to Cluster Munitions
Coalition-Austria.
Cluster Munitions and International Law is essential reading for
practitioners and scholars of International Law, including
International Humanitarian, Human Rights, International Criminal or
Disarmament Law and anyone interested in legal and humanitarian
perspectives on cluster munitions legislation and policy. It is
unique in bringing a practitioner's perspective to a scholarly
work.
