Legitimate Self-Defence in International Law

This work examines the concept of self-defence in the context of International Law. The author takes a look at the various categories of the concept, and makes a critical analysis of the justification of self-defence in the context of modern day warfare. It further highlights the strains placed upon the trilogy of immediacy, necessity and proportionality,which circumscribes the use of force in diverse military situations.
