{"product_id":"international-law-and-civil-wars-eliav-lieblich-9781138819733","title":"International Law and Civil Wars: Intervention and Consent","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the international law of forcible intervention in civil wars, in particular the role of party-consent in affecting the legality of such intervention. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn modern international law, it is a near consensus that no state can use force against another - the main exceptions being self-defence and actions mandated by a UN Security Council resolution. However, one more potential exception exists: forcible intervention undertaken upon the invitation or consent of a government, seeking assistance in confronting armed opposition groups within its territory. Although the latter exception is of increasing importance, the numerous questions it raises have received scant attention in the current body of literature. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume fills this gap by analyzing the consent-exception in a wide context, and attempting to delineate its limits, including cases in which government consent power is not only negated, but might be transferred to opposition groups. The book also discusses the concept of consensual intervention in contemporary international law, in juxtaposition to traditional legal doctrines. It traces the development of law in this context by drawing from historical examples such as the Spanish Civil War, as well as recent cases such those of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia, Libya, and Syria. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book will be of much interest to students of international law, civil wars, the Responsibility to Protect, war and conflict studies, and IR in general.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliav Lieblich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138819735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138819733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Eliav Lieblich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46172959047935,"sku":"9781138819733","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1db7726d-c354-4bee-8ff4-fe2fbd0db13b.jpg?v=1727179577","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-law-and-civil-wars-eliav-lieblich-9781138819733","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
