There is no doubt that international law was of major importance
during the Gulf conflict of 1990-91. Military and other actions
were repeatedly justified through reference to international law,
and disputes about interpretation were frequent. This book provides
a definitive legal analysis of the conflict, with reference both to
international and to English law. Some have been tempted to argue
that international law is an ineffective means of controlling the
activities of a state and its armed forces from the fact that there
were no war crimes trials of the leaders of Iraq, or of any other
state. International law does, however, provide a set of norms
either (a) agreed to by individual states through the ratification
of, or accession to, a treaty, or (b) which apply to all states by
the operation of customary international law and other secondary
sources. This book determines these norms in order to judge the
manner in which individual states recognized the binding nature of
them in the conduct of their operations. The contributors include
lawyers from each of the three British armed services.
