Routledge International Law and Civil Wars - Intervention and Consent

This scholarly examination explores the international law governing forcible intervention in civil wars, with particular focus on how party-consent shapes the legality of such actions. Modern international law establishes a near consensus that states cannot use force against one another, with recognised exceptions limited to self-defence and UN Security Council-mandated actions. However, a third potential exception exists: forcible intervention undertaken with the invitation or consent of a government seeking assistance against armed opposition groups within its territory. Published by Routledge and part of the Law, Conflict and International Relations series, this book provides rigorous analysis of a complex area where state sovereignty, humanitarian concerns and international legal frameworks intersect. The used copy in good condition offers substantial value for law students, international relations scholars and practitioners seeking to understand the nuanced relationship between consent, intervention and international law.
