ABSTRACT This article assesses the evolution of the international law of the use of force, focusing on how the emergence of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) influenced international norms regulating the right of self-defence. Drawing on constructivist International Relations research, we develop a socio-legal framework that emphasises changes in the interpretation of the meaning of imminence, and investigate how these changes, counter-terrorism, and the introduction of UAVs have contributed to the adoption of more relaxed standards for the use of force in self-defence. We argue that the Obama administration engaged in a systematic effort to redefine imminence and that a significant numbers of states, including key powers such as China, India and the UK, have largely followed this model. This, we suggest, underlines both the ability of dominant states to shape the interpretation of international norms and the influence of strategic and technological developments on the meaning and interpretation of international law.

ABSTRACT This article examines the legality of NATO's pursuit of regime change in Libya as a means of enforcing UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1973, which, while invoking the ‘responsibility to protect (R2P) doctrine, authorised ‘all necessary measures’ to protect civilians. Following an examination of the powers and limitations of the UNSC, the article employs the rules of interpretation of UNSC resolutions to evaluate whether NATO's pursuit of regime change was compatible with the ordinary meaning, object and purpose and supplementary materials pertaining to Resolution 1973. It concludes that while regime change in Libya could be reconciled with the Resolution's ordinary meaning and object and purpose, it was not supported by supplementary means of interpretation, most notably statements made by states over the course of its adoption. This reveals a need for further discussion regarding the existing or ideal relationship between regime change, UNSC Chapter VII mandates and R2P.

the conclusion, the author recognises that his analysis is based on the ‘state’s monopoly on the use of force, the rule of law, and respect for human rights’ (343), and it is worth remembering that triptych when faced with alarming tendencies for states, organisations and individuals to use lethal force beyond what is immediately necessary to defend themselves. The book is an impressive defence of a limited right that we all recognise but struggle to conceptualise and define given that its application is context specific. There is no doubt in this reviewer’s mind that this book will be a key reference point for academics and lawyers, as well as law and policy makers, working in the area.

ABSTRACT The German regime on the use of military force provides an important reference point for legal comparison. In a seminal judgment of 1994, the Constitutional Court identified a constitution-based requirement for each military deployment to have parliamentary approval. The formalities of the involvement of the Bundestag were, in 2005, codified in a statute. Recent German participation in coalitions of the willing have raised the question whether such operations are still covered by the constitutional bases, and participation in anti-Islamic State action in Syria is currently under review by the Constitutional Court. The article concludes that the tension between the need to effectively integrate military forces into multinational operations, democratic accountability, and judicial oversight has been uniquely resolved in the German constitution and statutory and case law. It illustrates the feasibility of upholding standards of democracy and the rule of law in foreign and military affairs.
