Winner of the 1988 Paul Reuter Prize awarded by the International
Committee of the Red Cross, this book examines two branches of the
international law of armed conflict as they apply to national
liberation movements. First, it explores the idea that national
liberation movements may legitimately resort to the use of force to
secure the right of their peoples to self-determination. Second, it
examines the application of the humanitarian law of armed conflict
in wars of national liberation. After a brief explanation of the
traditional law, the book explores the development of the idea that
there is a right of peoples to self-determination in international
law. The book then expands upon two corollaries which derive from
this idea. The first is that in situations of national liberation
struggles the use of force should be regarded as legitimate. The
second corollary is that, since peoples have status in
international law separate and distinct from that of the states
governing them, wars of national liberation are international wars
by definition, and the international rules governing the conduct of
hostilities should apply.
