This new edition is fully revised and updated following the Gulf War, the fighting in the former Yugoslavia and the political changes that have occurred with the ending of the Cold War. This book re-examines the topics of war, aggression and self-defence, including discussion on the legal nature of war, peace treaties, neutrality, the contemporary prohibition on the use of force, crimes against peace, war crimes and State sponsored terrorism. Related issues, such as collective security and the use of force short of war, are also addressed. Reflecting the recent increase in the use of force and counterforce at a regional level, special attention is given to the respective roles of the Security Council, the General Assembly, and the International Court of Justice in the developing 'New World Order'.

In this series, separate volumes illustrate different aspects of international criminal law. Each book starts with an introduction to the related subject and contains the most important documents, jurisprudence, and other information related to that subject.

Since the UN Charter came into effect in 1945, there have been numerous incidents in which one or more of the five major powers (at least arguably) violated the Charter's Article 2(4) prohibition of force. Such incidents notwithstanding, this book demonstrates how the Charter restrains the major powers' military actions. As an instrument of international order, the Charter provides a framework of legal rules restricting the use of armed force. Although these rules are subject to auto-interpretation by the major powers (as a consequence of their veto), they create an expectation of compliance that subjects the major powers' military actions to international scrutiny. To reduce the likelihood of resistance from states threatened by such actions, major powers exercise prudential restraint, altering the manner and timing of their military actions in accordance with the legal arguments offered to justify those actions as consistent with the Charter and therefore not threatening to the existing international order. The book evaluates the efficacy of the Charter using large-N methods and five case studies: US intervention in the Caribbean, 1953–61; Anglo- French intervention in Egypt, 1956; Soviet intervention in Hungary, 1956; US–British intervention in Iraq, 1990–98; and US–British intervention in Iraq, 1999–2003. The book's extensive focus on the two Iraq cases provides a basis for timely evaluation of the continuing salience and possible reforms of the UN Charter system. This book will be of much interest to students of security studies, the UN, international law, and international relations.
