This authoritative work offers a comprehensive analysis of ius contra bellum, i.e. the international legal regime governing the threat and use of force by States. Tracing its intellectual roots from the doctrines of just war to the UN Charter, the work rigorously investigates the prohibition of force, self-defence, collective security, including peacekeeping operations, and emerging challenges such as terrorism and cyber operations. Grounded in strict legal methodology and enriched by historical and political context, it critically refutes expansionist interpretations that threaten the foundations of the international legal order. An indispensable reference for scholars, practitioners, and students of public international law who wish to grasp this important branch of public international law.
