Routledge - Threats of Force and International Law Book

Explore the complex relationship between state communication and global legal standards with Threats of Force and International Law: Practice, Responses and Consequences. Published by Routledge, this book examines how threats of force function as an inherent part of communication between certain States. Using real-world examples, such as the 2017-2018 crisis between the United States and North Korea, the text analyzes how States issue threats despite being prohibited by international law. By focusing on the actual practice of States, this work provides a detailed examination of multiple cases where threats were reported. It offers a clear look at what constitutes a threat of force and examines the legal status surrounding these actions. This is an essential resource for anyone studying international law, state relations, and the practical application of global legal frameworks in modern diplomacy.
