Inernational Law and Armed Conflict

by Laurie Blank, Gregory P. Noone

Overview

Experienced authors with over 35 years combined teaching and working in the field use fundamental principles and sources of the law of armed conflict to guide discussion about contemporary and future concerns. Students can gain a solid foundation in the law and develop the tools they need to analyze complex legal problems. International Law and Armed Conflict shows how the law informs operational and policy decision-making. Placing the law of armed conflict in context with related fields, such as human rights law and national security law, the text provides a complete framework for understanding legal paradigms during and after conflict. Innovative materials and a helpful Teacher's Manual allow flexibility across a range of class scenarios, from a stand-alone course to part of a broader survey class.
