The book presents international laws on the use of force, with the unique insight of feminist analysis of this central area of international law. The book highlights key conceptual barriers to the enhanced application of the law on the use of force and develops an international feminist approach through rigorous engagement with key writers in this field.
The book examines the main aspects of the Charter related to the use of force - article 2 (4), article 51 and chapter VII of the powers - as well as participation in contemporary debates on the justification of the use of force for self-determination or humanitarian objectives. The text also discusses the arguments for the use of pre-emptive force and reflects on the role that feminist legal theories can play in exposing contradictions in contemporary arguments for justified force under the banner of the war on terror.
Throughout the text state practice and institutional documents are analyzed, along with the main cases of the use of force. The book makes a real and urgently needed contribution to a central area of international law, demonstrating the ability of women's legal theories to broaden our understanding of the main dilemmas of international law.
