Review (PDF) The Handbook Of The International Law Of Military Operations
The second edition of this well received handbook provides a comprehensive overview and annotated commentary of those areas of international law most relevant to the planning and conduct of military operations. It covers a wide scope of military operations, ranging from operations conducted under UN Security Council mandate to (collective) self-defense and consensual and humanitarian operations and identifies the relevant legal bases and applicable legal regimes governing the application of force and treatment of persons during such operations. It also devotes attention to the law governing the status of forces, military use of the sea and airspace and questions of international (criminal) responsibility for breaches of international law. New developments such as cyber warfare and controversial aspects of law in relation to contemporary operations, such as targeted killing of specific individuals are discussed and analyzed, alongside recent developments in more traditional types of operations, such as peacekeeping and naval operations. The book is aimed at policy officials, commanders and their (military) legal advisors who are involved with the planning and conduct of any type of military operation and is intended to complement national and international policy and legal guidelines and assist in identifying and applying the law to ensure legitimacy and contribute to mission accomplishment. It likewise fulfils a need in pertinent international organizations, such as the UN, NATO, Regional Organizations, and NGOs. It also serves as a comprehensive work of reference to academics and is suitable for courses at military staff colleges, academies and universities, which devote attention to one or more aspects of international law treated in the book. This mix of intended users is reflected in the contributors who include senior (former) policy officials and (military) legal advisors, alongside academics engaged in teaching and research in these areas of international law.

CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES ON MILITARY OPERATIONS AND THE LAWAn appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green ChambersIt is reassuring to most and surprising to some, that military operations are heavily regulated. This book, as the authors, Terry Gill and Dieter Fleck, assert, is ‘dedicated to legal advisors in the armed forces on operational deployment, who are charged with interpreting and applying the law under the most difficult and challenging circumstances any international legal practitioner can face.’The term ‘military’ of course, refers not just to war but to peace and peace keeping. The book therefore covers a broad range of military activities, including those conducted under UN Security Council mandate involving self-defence and humanitarian issues, together with the legal bases and legal regimes applicable to the use of force and treatment of persons involved in such operations.Published by the Oxford University Press, this is the second edition of a now well established work of reference which provides informed commentary throughout on the diversity of issues pertaining to military operations and concerns that have emerged in the past five to six years since the first edition was published in 2010. These include the targeted killing of specific individuals and cyber warfare.Interestingly, the co-author of this book, Professor Terry Gill is a member of Expert Group which prepared the ‘Tallinn Manual on Cyber Warfare.
