Risk and Force in World Society

The legality of international military interventions by powerful nations, such as in Kosovo or Iraq, is not always clear. This book investigates the status of such interventions under international law, arguing that they are not legally authorized but gain political support from the UN Security Council in resolutions on the restoration of peace.

Legalitatea interventiilor militare internationale ale unor natiuni puternice, precum in Kosovo sau Irak, nu este intotdeauna clara. Aceasta carte investigheaza statutul unor astfel de interventii in temeiul dreptului international, sustinand ca acestea nu sunt autorizate legal, dar obtin sprijin politic din partea Consiliului de Securitate al ONU in rezolutiile privind restabilirea pacii.
