Just War or Just Peace? Humanitarian Intervention and International Law - Oxford Monographs in International Law | Academic Research, Legal Studies & International Relations

This book asks whether states have the right to intervene in foreign civil conflicts for humanitarian reasons. The UN Charter prohibits state aggression, but many argue that such a right exists as an exception to this rule. Offering a thorough analysis of this issue, the book puts NATO's action in Kosovo in its proper legal perspective.
