About this book

Recourse to Force: State Action against Threats and Armed Attacks (Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lectures, Series Number 15) by Franck, Thomas M.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780521820134.

The United Nations Charter in 1945 prohibits all use of force by states except in the event of an armed attack or when authorized by the Security Council. Although the Charter is very hard to amend, its drafters agreed that it should be interpreted flexibly by the UNs principal political institutions and the text has undergone extensive interpretation. This book relates these changes in law and practice to changing public values pertaining to the balance between maintaining peace and promoting justice.
