The international law on the use of force is one of the oldest
branches of international law. It is an area twinned with the
emergence of international law as a concept in itself, and which
sees law and politics collide. The number of armed conflicts is
equal only to the number of methodological approaches used to
describe them. Many violent encounters are well known. The Kosovo
Crisis in 1999 and the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 spring
easily to the minds of most scholars and academics, and gain
extensive coverage in this text. Other conflicts, including the
Belgian operation in Stanleyville, and the Ethiopian Intervention
in Somalia, are often overlooked to our peril. Ruys and Corten's
expert-written text compares over sixty different instances of the
use of cross border force since the adoption of the UN Charter in
1945, from all out warfare to hostile encounters between individual
units, targeted killings, and hostage rescue operations, to ask a
complex question. How much authority does the power of precedent
really have in the law of the use of force?
