A fresh examination of the ethical and intellectual issues and
dilemmas associated with attempts to establish formal humanitarian
limits on weaponry. This new study considers how governments,
non-governmental organizations, academics, political commentators
and others have responded to the predicaments associated with
imposing classifications about the relative acceptability of force
and what is accomplished in their strategies for doing so. It
develops these issues through combining thematic and conceptual
analysis with the examination of varied cases of prohibitions on
'conventional' and 'unconventional' weapons through customary and
statutory laws, multilateral treaties, UN resolutions, and national
legislation. The book will appeal to students of security studies,
military technology, peace studies, international relations and
discourse theory.
