We are at a time when international law and the law of war are
particularly important. The testing of nuclear weapons that is
being used in the rhetoric surrounding threats of war is creating
new fears and heightening current tensions. Richard Falk has for
decades been an outspoken authority calling for nuclear disarmament
and the enforcement of non-proliferation treaties. In this
collection of essays, Falk examines the global threats to all
humanity posed by nuclear weapons. He is not satisfied with
accepting arms control measures as a managerial stopgap to these
threats and seeks no less than to move the world back from the
nuclear precipice and towards denuclearization. Falk's essays
reflect the wisdom and innovative thinking he has brought to his
long career as a scholar and activist, as he reminds nuclear
weapons states of their obligation under international law and
moral imperative to seek nuclear disarmament.
