Routledge - International Law and the Use of Force Book

Explore the evolving landscape of global legal frameworks with International Law and the Use of Force: Beyond the U.N. Charter Paradigm. Published by Routledge, this text examines the legal paradigm established by the United Nations Charter in 1945 and how it has changed over the decades. Since the adoption of the original Charter, significant developments have challenged existing legal standards, leading to what is described as a paradigmatic shift. This book traces those changes, providing an analysis of how the recourse to armed force is regulated in the modern era. It is a necessary resource for those studying the implications of these shifts on contemporary international law and practice. By looking beyond the original 1945 framework, readers gain a clearer understanding of the current state of international legal systems and how they respond to modern global challenges.
