Download or read book The Law of Air Warfare written by Natalino Ronzitti (jurist) and published by Eleven International Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of a research project directed by Natalino Ronzitti, to explore the current status and future prospects of international humanitarian law of air warfare. This is achieved through the analysis of international customary law, the conventional provisions in force and the most recent State practice. As the most recent conflicts suggest, air warfare has known an exponential growth. However, even a rapid analysis of the international humanitarian law applicable to air warfare shows a defective and fragmentary situation. This book will fill the current gap that exists in legal literature and will critically review and evaluate recent State practice.

Download or read book Does the Law Really Matter written by Rebecca Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is the product of ongoing debate concerning the relationship between air power and the law. While humankind has made great leaps in the technology associated with air warfare, it continues to struggle with theories that provide for the best application of air power. The increased destructiveness, the ability to use precision technology and the transparency of modern war in the media has led to an increased involvement of law in matters of war. The international community attempts to somehow regulate war through international war - there is a clear body of rules and principles that are relevant to, and must be considered in conjunction with, all military activities. The scourge of war can be moderated without jeopardising the ultimate military objective: victory and enduring peace.-- Publisher website.

Download or read book Command Of The Air written by General Giulio Douhet and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pantheon of air power spokesmen, Giulio Douhet holds center stage. His writings, more often cited than perhaps actually read, appear as excerpts and aphorisms in the writings of numerous other air power spokesmen, advocates-and critics. Though a highly controversial figure, the very controversy that surrounds him offers to us a testimonial of the value and depth of his work, and the need for airmen today to become familiar with his thought. The progressive development of air power to the point where, today, it is more correct to refer to aerospace power has not outdated the notions of Douhet in the slightest In fact, in many ways, the kinds of technological capabilities that we enjoy as a global air power provider attest to the breadth of his vision. Douhet, together with Hugh “Boom” Trenchard of Great Britain and William “Billy” Mitchell of the United States, is justly recognized as one of the three great spokesmen of the early air power era. This reprint is offered in the spirit of continuing the dialogue that Douhet himself so perceptively began with the first edition of this book, published in 1921. Readers may well find much that they disagree with in this book, but also much that is of enduring value. The vital necessity of Douhet’s central vision-that command of the air is all important in modern warfare-has been proven throughout the history of wars in this century, from the fighting over the Somme to the air war over Kuwait and Iraq.

Download or read book Drones and the Future of Air Warfare written by Michael P. Kreuzer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-26 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the evolution of airpower and specifically the growth and proliferation of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPAs). While most existing literature examines either the law or ethics of RPAs, and some newer scholarship looks to the battlefield effectiveness (the gains from strikes versus the potential for ‘blowback, etc.), this work investigates it from a broader military perspective. It examines the strategy for employment of RPAs across the spectrum of warfare, the potential deterrent value of RPAs in some circumstances, and the resulting ability of RPAs to fundamentally shift the character of when and how wars are fought. The central aim of this book is to evaluate the role of ‘drones’ in warfare to date, and make basic projections on how states will adopt RPAs and UCAVs in the future. At the core is the goal of answering a broad, underlying research question: How will the RPA innovation impact military strategy and international security? This book will be of much interest to students of airpower, drone warfare, military and strategic studies, security studies and IR.
Download or read book HPCR Manual on International Law Applicable to Air and Missile Warfare written by and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The HPCR Manual on International Law Applicable to Air and Missile Warfare provides an up-to-date restatement of existing international law applicable to the conduct of air and missile warfare. The HPCR Manual and its associated rule-by-rule Commentary are the results of a six-year endeavor led by the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at Harvard University, during which it convened an international group of renowned legal experts and practitioners to reflect on the current legal framework regulating air and missile warfare from various sources of international law. Through the publication of the HPCR Manual and its associated Commentary, HPCR hopes that legal advisors and military officers will benefit from an in-depth presentation - and interpretation - of international law applicable to military operations involving air and missile warfare. As a result, it is expected that a greater clarity of the law will enhance the protection of civilians in armed conflict.

This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from International Law Situations, With Solutions and Notes, 1938 The introduction of aircraft as a means of warfare greatly modified the conduct of war upon the earth surface, on the water as well as on land. The earlier rules for warfare were concerned with surface combat. These rules could not in every instance be extended by analogy to aerial warfare, be cause the forms of warfare were not analogous. There was an attempt on the part of some writers to extend the three mile maritime jurisdiction doctrine to the superjacent air. In this attempt the early recognition of the fact that the law of gravity did not act horizontally and vertically in the same manner, destroyed the analogy. Differences in Speed and in other respects introduced other complications in attempts to extend maritime and land rules to the air. Aircraft were coming more and more to be used in war; therefore, rules had to be devised. The World War expe riences and problems contributed valuable basal data for the determination of the nature of possible regulation of use of aircraft. The equipment of aircraft with radio introduced other problems. (international Law Situations, 1936, p. Can legal' restraints on air warfare be made 2' The feeling has been prevalent in some quarters that efiorts to curb the use of aircraft in war are doomed to. Failure because this new weapon is so powerful that no belligerent would be willing to restrict the employment of this military arm. The devastation and destruction which airplanes may bring about, so the argument runs, will be so efiec tive in bringing the opponent to terms that here after the sanctions for restraint will no longer be operative. Further, the. Possibilities of totali tarian wars between rival ideological groups makes it appear to some people that curbs would be of no value. This hypothesis that ruthlessness will pay and that legal restrictions will be foot less, deserves examination.
