Contents:

Birth and infancy of a charter rule : the open framework -- The menu choice : a guide to interpretation -- Precedents of the International Court of Justice -- Deciphering post-Charter practice: means and limits -- Open threats to extract concessions -- Demonstrations of force -- Countervailing threats or: threats in self-defence -- Findings and conclusions -- Epilogue : the law in operation.

Summary: The United Nations Charter prohibits states to threaten the use of force vis-a-vis another state, but what conduct is prohibited is unclear. This book fills this gap by exploring what forms of military coercion are permitted by international law, when such coercion is justified, and how norm-breakers are dealt with.
