A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'The international law relating to state violence has developed in a fragmented manner. Nigel White offers an original and coherent analysis that guides us through the complex area of conflict and security. The book lucidly charts the rocky legal terrain, but it does not shy away from the political context, addressing also the legitimacy and effectiveness of the rules. This is an accessible and insightful volume.' --- Mary Ellen O Connell, University of Notre Dame, US

'In this brief but rich volume, Nigel White impressively brings together a number of disparate branches of international law to form a coherent whole. The book's main innovation is that it is organised around the question by whom the monopoly of violence is held under international law and how it is to be exercised. White writes in a lucid style, provides many telling examples and does not ignore the politics behind international conflict and security law.' --- Jan Klabbers, the University of Helsinki, Finland
