This third volume of the book series on Nuclear Non-Proliferation
in International Law focuses on the development and use of nuclear
energy for peaceful purposes within a contemporary global context,
an interdependent characteristic of the Non-Proliferation Treaty
along with disarmament and non-proliferation. The scholarly
contributions in this volume explore this interrelationship,
considering the role of nation States as well as international
organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
in monitoring and implementing the Treaty. The 2015 Nuclear Accord
with Iran and its implementation is also discussed, highlighting
relevant developments in this evolving area. Overall, the volume
explores relevant issues, ultimately presenting a number of
suggestions for international cooperation in this sensitive field
where political discussion often dominates over legal analysis. The
important tasks of limiting the proliferation of nuclear weapons,
ensuring the safety and security of peaceful uses of nuclear
energy, and achieving nuclear disarmament under strict and
effective international control, calls for the interpretation and
application of international legal principles and rules in their
relevant context, a task that this book series endeavours to
facilitate whilst presenting new information and evaluating current
developments in this area of international law. Jonathan L.

This second Volume in the book Series on Nuclear Non-Proliferation
in International Law discusses the legal interpretation and
implementation of verification and compliance with the Treaty of
the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, 1968; the Comprehensive
Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, 1996; and the Treaty establishing the
European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM), 1957. It specifically
examines the question, contested in recent academic writings,
whether the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is competent
to verify not only the correctness, but also the completeness of
national declarations. Topical legal issues of verification and its
technical and political limits as well as peaceful settlement of
disputes and countermeasures are discussed in-depth. The Series on
Nuclear Non-Proliferation in International Law provides scholarly
research articles with critical commentaries on relevant treaty
law, best practice and legal developments, thus offering an
academic analysis and information on practical legal and diplomatic
developments both globally and regionally. It sets a basis for a
further constructive discourse on the topic at both national and
international levels. A Third Volume, to be published in Autumn
2016, will focus on legal issues of safety and security of the use
of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Jonathan L. Black-Branch

the three pillars of the Treaty of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
Weapons, 1968, regarding the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons;
the right to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy
for peaceful purposes; and issues relating to nuclear disarmament.
It examines the status of international law regarding nuclear
capacity, considering competing legal approaches to the development
of nuclear technology, non-proliferation, disarmament and
regulating nuclear weapons within a contemporary international
context.

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.
