ISBN-13: 9781035357673 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 430 str.
This book provides a uniquely clear and comprehensive statement of the law on nuclear weapons. It draws on the insight and input of a group of 15 experts from around the world and in so doing crafts an authoritative text that sets out not only the positions of a number of states but a carefully articulated guide to this complex area of law. Under the general editorship of Bill Boothby, and building upon the platform of Boothby and Heintschel von Heinegg’s earlier work, this book addresses in much greater depth and detail, and with the authority endowed by the team of experts, how international law deals with the possession and use of nuclear weapons, as well as the deterrence policies associated with them. It presents an in-depth exploration of the law, detailing its implications and providing practical guidance on challenging issues. The book examines sovereignty, the threat or use of force, the conduct of nuclear hostilities, neutrality, weapons law, and war crimes, considering the impact of recent events and trends. Key Features: Provides a clear and comprehensive statement of the law on nuclear weapons Discusses implications for nuclear command, control and communication policies Features systematic coverage of the national doctrines of nuclear weapon States Sets out 76 customary rules with commentary that articulate the scope of the field Explains non-proliferation and prohibition treaties and compares their approaches Documents the conflicting views of nuclear deterrent States and prohibitionist States, as well as the judgement of the International Court of Justice Reflecting the complexities of nuclear weapons law in an objective and accessible manner, this book is an essential resource for legal practitioners in public international law and terrorism and security law, as well as government and military decision makers, nuclear policymakers, think tanks, and NGOs.
