The Jurisprudence of International Law (Melland Schill Studies in International Law)

As what has been called the 'century of violence' ended,  humanitarian intervention was once more at the centre of legal, political  and ethical discourse. Increasing recourse to such a doctrine was  occasioning widespread reflection on the big questions of how and why  states behave, whether there is a meaningful concept of an international  community, how fundamental values are determined and how they relate to  each other. The Jurisprudence of International Law is a challenging  examination of the jurisprudence of international law on humanitarian  intervention. It poses challenges to thinking and argumentation and  proposes a redescription of humanitarian intervention.  The Jurisprudence of International Law contains an original analysis  of the philosophical and legal sources underpinning the concept of  humanitarian intervention. The book presents and evaluates the bearing of  legal theories - natural law, positivism, realism and critical theory - on  humanitarian intervention and how the legal framework, in particular  Articles 2(4) and 51 of the United Nations Charter, is moulded by  theoretical arguments and influences state practice.  The author goes on to develop a discursive model where the value of human  dignity is attained through dialogue, reflection, and projection embedded  in a sense of responsibility and human solidarity. The book thus revisits  humanitarian intervention from the perspective of human dignity by  re-combining theory, doctrine and practice within a discursive process.  This book is written for theorists and practitioners of both international  law and international relations.
