A landmark work in international legal scholarship, The Oxford Handbook of the Use of Force in International Law presents a comprehensive and authoritative examination of one of the most contested areas of public international law. Edited by Marc Weller and drawing on contributions from leading scholars and practitioners worldwide, the volume details the legal frameworks governing the resort to armed force by states and non-state actors, from the foundational principles of the UN Charter to the evolving doctrines of humanitarian intervention and self-defense. The handbook systematically addresses key controversies—including the legality of pre-emptive strikes, the Responsibility to Protect, and the regulation of cyber warfare—with rigorous analytical precision and an academic tone that is both authoritative and accessible. It chronicles the historical development of the jus ad bellum alongside contemporary challenges posed by terrorism, civil conflict, and unilateral state action, illustrating how international norms are tested and reshaped in practice. An indispensable reference for international lawyers, scholars, policymakers, and students, this definitive collection argues that a rules-based international order depends on a clear and consistently applied legal framework governing the use of force.
