| 520 | _aAn examination of the history of armed conflict and international law through a series of case studies of past conflicts, ranging from the 1837 Caroline Incident to the abuse of detainees by U.S. forces at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. The author explores the legal controversies that surrounded the 1999 and 2001 interventions in Kosovo and Afghanistan and the 2003 war in Iraq. Presents the development of the law of war in five categories: UN Security Council authorization, self-defense, preemptive war, humanitarian and pro-democratic intervention, and the protection of civilians and combatants during armed conflict. | ||
