The law against war : the prohibition on the use of force in contemporary international law / Olivier Corten.

• A choice of method -- What do 'use of force' and 'threat of force' mean? -- Do the prohibition of the use of force and self-defence apply to non-state actors? -- Can circumstances precluding wrongfulness be invoked to justify a use of force? -- Intervention by invitation -- Intervention authorised by the UN Security Council -- Self-defence -- A right of humanitarian intervention?. 

• "A guide to the legal framework regulating the use of force. This edition looks at new precedents arising from the Arab Spring; the struggle against the 'Islamic State' in Iraq and Syria; and the conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen. It also reflects the new doctrinal debates surrounding recent state practice. Previous positions are reconsidered and in some cases revised, notably the question of consensual intervention and the very definition of force, particularly, to accommodate targeted extrajudicial executions and cyber-operations. Finally, it examines the concept of self-defense, reflecting recent interpretations of the International Court of Justice and the ongoing controversies surrounding its definition and interpretation"--
