Using legal arguments consistent with international law, this book
explores whether and under which circumstances a State (or States)
may establish and militarily enforce safe zones in countries that
produce large-scale refugee outflows so as to protect its (or
their) own interests by averting said outflows, as well as to
alleviate human suffering in today's world of civil and internal
warfare. Though large-scale refugee outflows have become an
increasingly frequent problem in inter-state relations,
international law offers no clear remedy. Accordingly,
interpretation and adaptation of the existing rules and principles
of international law, in addition to State practice and the
jurisprudence of international courts, are required in order to
find appropriate and lawful responses to such situations. The book
examines countermeasures, necessity and humanitarian intervention
as possible legal grounds to justify the establishment of safe
zones. Since the proposal of a safe zone for Syria remains on the
international community's agenda, the specific conditions of this
case are particularly addressed in order to assess the suitability
and legality of a possible safe zone in Syria.
