Book Balance of Power in Outer Space

Download or read book Balance of Power in Outer Space written by William W. Brown and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memorandum discusses the importance of controlling space, or at least precluding control by a hostile power, which the author perceives may be just as critical in future warfare as control of the seas or airspace. He asserts that, in the final analysis, the decisiveness of space power must be expressed in relative terms. The author concludes that if both the United States and the Soviet Union have significant support from space at more or less equal levels, then the decisive factors will remain elsewhere--so long as the capability to negate this support remains in balance. If, however, either side achieves exclusive use of space or even a preponderant amount of space support, the probability of a decisive effect from space appears to be very high. (Author).

Book Neutrality in Contemporary International Law

Download or read book Neutrality in Contemporary International Law written by James Upcher and published by Oxford Monographs in Internati. This book was released on 2020-01-19 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law of neutrality - the corpus of legal rules regulating the relationship between belligerents and States taking no part in hostilities - assumed its modern form in a world in which the waging of war was unconstrained. The neutral State enjoyed territorial inviolability to the extent that it adhered to the obligations attaching to its neutral status and thus the law of neutrality provided spatial parameters for the conduct of hostilities. Yet the basis on which the law of neutrality developed - the extra-legal character of war - no longer exists. Does the law of neutrality continue to survive in the modern era? If so, how has it been modified by the profound changes in the law on the use of force and the law of armed conflict? This book argues that neutrality endures as a key concept of the law of armed conflict. The interaction between belligerent and nonbelligerent States continues to require legal regulation, as demonstrated by a number of recent conflicts, including the Iraq War of 2003 and the Mavi Marmara incident of 2010. By detailing the rights and duties of neutral states and demonstrating how the rules of neutrality continue to apply in modern day conflicts, this restatement of law of neutrality will be a useful guide to legal academics working on the law of armed conflict, the law on the use of force, and the history of international law, as well as for government and military lawyers seeking comprehensive guidance in this difficult area of the law.
