Routledge - International Law, Politics and Inhumane Weapons

Explore the effectiveness of international humanitarian law in regulating inhumane weapons through this academic study by Routledge. This book examines the legal frameworks designed to address the humanitarian scourge of landmines and the challenges faced by existing international treaties. While two major treaties have emerged under international humanitarian law to manage landmines, there remains a lack of clear understanding regarding how effective these frameworks truly are. This text addresses that specific gap in current literature. Using an analytical framework grounded in regime theory, the work provides a deep look into the intersection of law, conflict, and international relations. This resource is essential for students, researchers, and professionals interested in how global landmine regimes function in practice. It offers a detailed investigation into whether international legal structures successfully meet the humanitarian challenges that led to their creation, providing a necessary perspective on modern international law and global politics.
