Comprehensive, updated, synthetic and original, these are, in a nutshell, the dominating qualities of this 3rd edition. The author manages to draw an accurate picture of the law of war while succeeding in incorporating the basic rules of the jus ad bellum and aspects of the most contemporary issues in international criminal law. Such a book deserves to be in any library worthy of this name.'Eric David, Prof. em., Universite libre de Bruxelles, Belgium'This new edition of The Law of War is a significant and updated contribution to the complete analysis on the applicable rules in the case of war. It is clearly structured and provides a comprehensive understanding of the rules that are related to armed conflicts, including new developments in the use of force against non-state actors, the use of certain weapons and international criminal law. Only few books provide such a clear and comprehensive consideration of the legal rules that apply in situations of armed conflict.'Marco Odello, Aberystwyth University, UK
