The second edition of this well received handbook provides a
comprehensive overview and annotated commentary of those areas of
international law most relevant to the planning and conduct of
military operations. It covers a wide scope of military operations,
ranging from operations conducted under UN Security Council mandate
to (collective) self-defence and consensual and humanitarian
operations and identifies the relevant legal bases and applicable
legal regimes governing the application of force and treatment of
persons during such operations. It also devotes attention to the
law governing the status of forces, military use of the sea and
airspace and questions of international (criminal) responsibility
for breaches of international law. New developments such as cyber
warfare and controversial aspects of law in relation to
contemporary operations, such as targeted killing of specific
individuals are discussed and analysed, alongside recent
developments in more traditional types of operations, such as
peacekeeping and naval operations. The book is aimed at policy
officials, commanders and their (military) legal advisors who are
involved with the planning and conduct of any type of military
operation and is intended to complement national and international
policy and legal guidelines and assist in identifying and applying
the law to ensure legitimacy and contribute to mission
accomplishment. It likewise fulfils a need in pertinent
international organizations, such as the UN, NATO, Regional
Organizations, and NGOs. It also serves as a comprehensive work of
reference to academics and is suitable for courses at military
staff colleges, academies and universities, which devote attention
to one or more aspects of international law treated in the book.
This mix of intended users is reflected in the contributors who
include senior (former) policy officials and (military) legal
advisors, alongside academics engaged in teaching and research in
these areas of international law.
