The decision by the US and UK governments to use military force
against Iraq in 2003 and the subsequent occupation and
administration of that State, has brought into sharp focus
fundamental fault lines in international law. The decision to
invade, the conduct of the war and occupation and the mechanisms
used to administer the country all challenge the international
legal community placing it at a crossroads. When can the use of
force be justified? What are the limits of military operations?
What strength does international criminal law possess in the face
of such interventions? How effective is the international regime of
human rights in these circumstances? What role does domestic law
have to play? How the law now responds and develops in the light of
these matters will be of fundamental global importance for the 21st
century and an issue of considerable political and legal concern.
This book explores this legal territory by examining a number of
issues fundamental to the future direction of international law in
the War's aftermath. Consideration is also given to the impact on
UK law. Both practical and academic perspectives are taken in order
to scrutinise key questions and consider the possible trajectories
that international law might now follow.
