Description
International Law and New Wars explores the intricate relationship between contemporary conflicts and the evolving landscape of international law. Authored by renowned scholars Christine Chinkin and Mary Kaldor, this thought-provoking work delves into the complexities of warfare in the 21st century, highlighting the challenges posed by non-traditional forms of conflict.
The Story
In a world where wars are increasingly characterised by asymmetrical tactics and the involvement of non-state actors, Chinkin and Kaldor provide a comprehensive analysis of how international humanitarian law adapts to these new realities. The authors critically assess the effectiveness of existing legal frameworks in addressing issues such as civilian protection, the use of drones, and the implications of globalisation on warfare.
