Within international law there is no unified concept of peace. This
book addresses this gap by considering the liberal conception of
peace within Western philosophy alongside the principle of
'peaceful coexistence' supported in the East. By tracing the
evolution of the international law of peace through its historical
and philosophical origins, this book investigates whether there is
a 'right to peace'. The book explores how existing international
law and institutions contribute to the establishment of peace, or
how they fail to do so. It sets out how international law promotes
the negative dimension of peace-the absence of violence-as well as
its positive dimension: the presence of underlying conditions for
peace. It also investigates whether international actors and
institutions have particular obligations in relation to the
establishment and maintenance of peace. Discussions include: the
relationships between the different regimes of human rights, trade,
development, the environment, and regulation of arms trade with
peace; the role of women, refugees, and other groups seeking equal
treatment; the role of peacekeepers, transitional justice
mechanisms, international courts fact-finding missions, and
national constitutional frameworks in upholding peace in practice;
and how civil society participates in the promotion and
safeguarding of peace. The book's comprehensive treatment of the
concept of peace in international law makes it an ideal reference
work for those working in the field, as well as for students.
