Advanced Introduction to International Conflict and Security Law
Nigel D. White
Advanced Introduction to International Conflict and Security Law provides a concise and insightful guide to the key principles of international law governing peacetime security, the use of force, conflict and post-conflict situations. Nigel D. White explores the complex legal regimes that have been created to control the level of armaments, to limit the occasions when governments can use military force to mitigate the conduct of warfare and to build peace.
'This is a very welcome publication by Professor Nigel White, an established expert in international conflict and security law. It is an excellent introduction to this area of law. The book is accessible and provides a comprehensive treatment of the subject matter. It represents a distinct contribution by offering a succinct but incisive appraisal of the law and practice in this area and should serve as an excellent source of reference for advanced students, academics, and practitioners.'
