Counterinsurgency Law: New Directions in Asymmetric Warfare
 |
| Anteprima |
In
Counterinsurgency Law, William Banks and several distinguished
contributors explore from an interdisciplinary legal and policy
perspective the multiple challenges that counterinsurgency operations
pose today to the rule of law - international, humanitarian, human
rights, criminal, and domestic. Addressing the considerable challenges
for the future of armed conflict, each contributor in the book explores
the premise that in COIN operations, international humanitarian law,
human rights law, international law more generally, and domestic
national security laws do not provide adequate legal and policy coverage
and guidance for multiple reasons, many of which are explored in this
book. A second shared premise is that these problems are not only
challenges for the law in post-9/11 security environments-but matters of
policy with implications for the international community and for global
security more generally.
