Law-Making and Legitimacy in International Humanitarian Law
Author: Püschmann, Jonas
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 180088396X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is in a state of some turbulence, as a result of, among other things, non-international armed conflicts, terrorist threats and the rise of new technologies. This incisive book observes that while states appear to be reluctant to act as agents of change, informal methods of law-making are flourishing. Illustrating that not only courts, but various non-state actors, push for legal developments, this timely work offers an insight into the causes of this somewhat ambivalent state of IHL by focusing attention on both the legitimacy of law-making processes and the actors involved.
