Threat of Force in International Law

Informationen zum Autor Senior research fellow at the World Trade Institute and visiting lecturer in international and constitutional law at the University of Basel. Klappentext This book examines the relationship between military coercion and international law. Zusammenfassung The United Nations Charter prohibits states to threaten the use of force vis-à-vis another state, but what conduct is prohibited is unclear.
