This title is available in our CasebookPlus format. CasebookPlus provides support beyond your classroom lectures and materials by offering additional digital resources to you and your students. Anchored by faculty-authored formative self-assessments keyed to our most popular casebooks, CasebookPlus allows students to test their understanding of core concepts as they are learning them in class – on their own, outside of the classroom, with no extra work on your part. CasebookPlus combines three important elements:

• A new print or digital casebook
• Access to a downloadable eBook with the ability to highlight and add notes
• 12-month access to a digital Learning Library complete with:

Multiple-choice self-assessment questions, including:

• Chapter questions keyed to the casebook
• Black Letter Law questions (available in select subjects)
• Subject area review questions for end of semester use

Essay and short answer questions with sample answers and expert commentary, in 1L and select upper-level subjects

Leading digital study aids, an outline starter, and audio lectures in select subjects

Students can still utilize CasebookPlus digital resources if they’ve purchased a used book or are renting their text by purchasing the Learning Library at westacademic.com.

With CasebookPlus, you can customize your students’ learning experience and monitor their performance. The quiz editor allows you to create your own custom quiz set, suppress specific quiz questions or quiz sets, and time-release quiz questions. Additionally, the flexible, customized reporting capability helps you evaluate your students’ understanding of the material and can also help your school demonstrate compliance with the new ABA Assessment and Learning Outcomes standards.

Table of Contents

Since the publication of the second edition, a number of new global conflicts and new developments in the field of weapons technology have occurred. These developments are reflected in the new edition, which continues the comprehensive approach to this area of law by covering both the law on resort to armed force and the conduct of armed conflict. The new edition adds the important report requested by the Council of Europe on the Georgia-Russia War of 2008 and reports by United Nations Special Rapporteurs on targeted killings. New cases on detention in civil war from the United Kingdom Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights have been added as well as new reports on protection of civilians by the International Committee of the Red Cross. The final chapter on weapons has been expanded to include new technology. In addition to weapons of mass destruction and conventional weapons, the chapter now covers autonomous weapons, malicious uses of cyber space, hypersonic weapons, and military uses of outer space.
