Over the centuries, societies have gradually developed constraints on the use of armed force in the conduct of foreign relations. The crowning achievement of these efforts occurred in the midtwentieth century with the general acceptance among the states of the world that the use of military force for territorial expansion was unacceptable. A central challenge for the twenty-first century rests in reconciling these constraints with the increasing desire to protect innocent persons from human rights deprivations that often take place during civil war or result from persecution by autocratic governments. "Humanitarian Intervention" is a detailed look at the historical development of constraints on the use of force and at incidents of humanitarian intervention prior to, during, and after the Cold War.
This up-to-date collection of documents is designed primarily for use in conjunction with Damrosch and Murphy 's International Law: Cases and Materials, Seventh Edition (2019). This Documents Supplement also provides a handy general reference for anyone working in the field of international law. The Documents Supplement has been shortened from around 100 to about 30 central documents likely used by anyone teaching the course, along with internet citations to other documents.
Litigating War offers an in-depth examination of the law and
procedure of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission, which was
tasked with deciding, through binding arbitration, claims for
losses, damages, and injuries resulting from the 1998-2000
Eritrean-Ethiopian war. After providing an overview of the war, the
authors describe how the Commission was established, its
jurisdiction, the sources of law it applied, its treatment of
nationality and evidentiary issues, and the relief it rendered.
Separate chapters then address particular topics, such as the
initiation of the war, battlefield conduct, belligerent occupation,
aerial bombardment, prisoners of war, enemy aliens and their
property, diplomats and diplomatic property, and general economic
loss. A final chapter examines the lessons that might be learned
from the experience of the Claims Commission, especially with an
eye to the establishment of such commissions in the future.
