In the aftermath of the Cold War there has been a dramatic shift in thinking about the maintenance of peace and security on a global level. This shift is away from a preoccupation with how to prevent major wars between sovereign states to a preoccupation about non-state transnational warfare and violence and strife within states in a world order that continues to be juridically and politically delimited by spatial ideas of national sovereignty and national independence as signified by international boundaries.

In this book, Richard Falk draws upon these changes to...

Professor Falk gives special attention to the political setting that shapes international law and to the creation of those intellectual perspectives which would strengthen world order.

Issues of the war that have provoked public controversy and legal debate over the last two years--the Cambodian invasion of May-June 1970, the disclosure in November 1969 of the My Lai massacre, and the question of war crimes--are the focus of Volume 3.

Parts I and II deal directly with the Cambodian, My Lai, and war crimes debates....

In elegant simplicity, this book places the priority of such an ethos in the personal decisions we make in our human interactions, not just the...
