This collection of essays by Professor Michael N. Schmitt of Durham
University draws together those of his articles published over the
past two decades that have explored particular fault lines in the
law of armed conflict. As such, they examine the complex interplay
between warfare and law, seeking to identify where the law and
warfare appear to diverge, and where such apparent divergence can
be accommodated through contextual interpretation of the law. Each
essay examines a particular issue in either the jus ad bellum (the
law governing resort to force) or jus in bello (international
humanitarian law) that has proven contentious in terms of applying
extant norms to the evolving face of armed conflict. Among the
topics addressed are counter-terrorism, cyber operations,
asymmetrical warfare, assassination, environmental warfare and the
participation of civilians in hostilities.
