This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The legality of preemptive strikes is one of the most controversial questions of contemporary international law. At the core of this controversy stands the temporal dimension of self-defence: when and for how long can a state defend itself against an armed attack Can it resort to armed force before such an attack occurs Is anticipatory action covered by the rules of self-defence or should it be treated as a different concept This book examines whether anticipatory action in self-defence is part of customary international law and, if so, under what conditions. The pre-Charter concept of anticipatory action is demarcated and then assessed against post-Charter state practice. Several instances of self-defence - both anticipatory and remedial - are examined to elucidate the rules governing the temporal dimension of the right. The Six-Day War (1967), the Israeli bombing of an Iraqi reactor (1981), the US invasion of Iraq (2003) and other instances of state practice are given thorough attention. 368 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -3 On 22 February 2002, Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, who led the UNITA rebel move- 4 ment during the bloody armed conflict in Angola and who had battled to take power by force since Angola's independence from Portugal in 1975, was killed in 5 a gun battle with the Angolan Army. During the Cold War, Savimbi was a proxy for the United States against the then-Marxist government of Angola. But after the end of the Cold War, he lost international support for rejecting peace efforts. He was accused of perpetuating a bloody internal conflict to advance his own interests 6 and was exposed to international sanctions. Meanwhile, the government of Presi- 7 dent José Eduardo dos Santos moved closer to the United States. The 27-year-long armed conflict is believed to have killed approximately one million people and driven four million others from their homes, creating a humani- 8 tarian crisis. In addition, the conflict destroyed almost all of the country's inf- structure, and effectively disrupted every effort by the government to start the long desired national reconstruction after independence, and the building of prosperity for the nation's children. Savimbi was viewed as the primary obstacle to peace, personifying the 'corrupt- 9 ing influence of ambition, mineral wealth, and the grinding brutality of war'. His 3. 'UNITA' is the Portuguese acronym for 'National Union for the Total Independence of Angola' (União Nacional para a Independência Total de Angola). It was founded in 1966 by the late Mr Jonas Savimbi. 1040 pp. Englisch.
