Falk, Richard A., Ed.; Perkovich, Joseph Gen. ed. The International Law of Civil War. 2010

Falk, Richard A., Editor. The International Law of Civil War. [Baltimore]: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1971. xix, 452 pp. Reprinted 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584777212; ISBN-10: 1584777214. Hardcover. New. * A title in the series Foundations of the Laws of War, Joseph Perkovich, General Editor. This volume explores the complex relationship between international law and civil war through six essays on the American Civil War, the Spanish Civil War, the Algerian Revolution, and conflicts in the Congo, Yemen and Vietnam. The current rash of civil wars seems to result both from the vulnerability of so many states to domestic violence and from the willingness of so many other states to promote or exploit this vulnerability for reasons of ideological solidarity, political expansion, national security, or human compassion. Thus, the kind of civil war that is most important to the maintenance of international order involves the interplay of interventionary diplomacy and domestic instability. International lawyers are deeply divided as to the wisdom of intervention policies, but they are agreed as to the imperative need for the international community to concur on rules of conduct that will prevent this escalation of local conflicts. The International Law of Civil War is the result of a special project sponsored by The American Society of International Law, designed to shed light on patterns in civil war situations and bring into focus the policy problems that arise from the interplay of domestic violence and external participation. Emphasis is placed on the facts and law of external participation on behalf of either or both contending factions; the role of international institutions; the patterns of adherence to the laws of war by the parties to the conflict; and the patterns of settlement by which the violence was ended and order restored. The book highlights the essential features of typical civil war situations through six case studies: The American Civil War, 1861-65 by Quincy Wright, International Legal Aspects of the Civil War in Spain, 1936-39 by Ann Van Wynen Thomas and A. J. Thomas, Jr., The Algerian Revolution as a Case Study in International Law by Arnold

Sehr gut erhalten. ** Der Sezessionskrieg (auch Amerikanischer Bürgerkrieg) war der von 1861 bis 1865 währende militärische Konflikt zwischen den aus der Union der Vereinigten Staaten ausgetretenen Südstaaten - der Konföderation - und den in der Union verbliebenen Nordstaaten. Ursache war eine tiefe wirtschaftliche, soziale und politische Spaltung zwischen Nord- und Südstaaten, die vor allem in der Sklavereifrage zu Tage trat. Die sich seit etwa 1830 verschärfenden Konflikte eskalierten schließlich zum Krieg, als die meisten Südstaaten als Reaktion auf die Wahl Abraham Lincolns zum US-Präsidenten aus der Union austraten. Die bewaffneten Feindseligkeiten begannen mit der Beschießung Fort Sumters durch die Konföderierten am 12. April 1861 und endeten im Wesentlichen mit der Kapitulation der Nord-Virginia-Armee in Appomattox Court House am 9. April 1865. Die letzten konföderierten Truppen kapitulierten am 23. Juni 1865 in Texas. ** The American Civil War (1861-1865), also known as the War Between the States and several other names, was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy). Led by Jefferson Davis, they fought against the United States (the Union), which was supported by all the free states and the five border slave states. Union states were loosely referred to as "the North". In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. The Republican victory in that election resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. Both the outgoing and incoming US administrations rejected the legality of secession, considering it rebellion. Hostilities began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a US military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Lincoln responded by calling for a volunteer army from each state, leading to declarations of secession by four more Southern slave states. Both sides raised armies as the Union assumed control of the border states early in the war and established a naval blockade. In September 1862, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made ending slavery in the South a war goal, and dissuaded the British from intervening. Confederate commander Robert E. Lee won battles in the east, but in 1863 his northward advance was turned back after the Battle of Gettysburg and, in the west, the Union gained control of the Mississippi River at the Battle of Vicksburg, thereby splitting the Confederacy. Long-term Union advantages in men and material were realized in 1864 when Ulysses S. Grant fought battles of attrition against Lee, while Union general William Sherman captured Atlanta, Georgia, and marched to the sea. Confederate resistance collapsed after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The American Civil War was the deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of 620,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties. It sped the abolishment of slavery in the United States, restored the Union and strengthened the role of the federal government. The social, political, economic and racial issues of the war decisively shaped the reconstruction era that lasted to 1877, and brought changes that helped make the country a united superpower.
