EBOOK Defending Humanity:When Force is Justified and Why
Opis
When Force is Justified and Why
This provocative book offers a groundbreaking theory on the legality of war, providing clear guidelines for evaluating these interventions. The authors suggest going back to the domestic criminal law concepts upon which the U.N. Charter was originally based--in particular, the concept of "e;legitimate defense"e;--which encompasses not only self-defense but defense of others. The book explains how the concept of legitimate defense will enable political leaders, courts, and scholars to see the solid basis under international law for states to intervene with force--not just to protect themselves but also to defend other nations.
