Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction to modern non-lethal weapons. 2. Concepts and designs of modern non-lethal weapons. 3. Military application of modern non-lethal weapons. 4. Non-lethal weapons in un peace operation. 5. Legal framework for non-lethal weapons. 6. Moral and ethical aspects of non-lethal weapons. 7. What's next? Select Bibliography. Index. Non-Lethal Weapons offer viable options for addressing challenging scenarios in modern-day conflicts including peacekeeping operations, where the objective is to accomplish the mission and protect the force when lethal force is either unnecessary or even detrimental. Today, several states are actively engaged in countering terrorism, grey zone conflicts and armed conflicts resulting in high casualty rates for both sides. It would be valuable for the political and military leaders to consider the merits of Non-Lethal Weapons which are less likely to kill or to cause serious bodily injury than a conventional weapon, i.e., guns, missiles, bombs, yet help achieve the desired goal. Non-Lethal Weapons can include chemical and biological agents, electroshock devices, acoustic devices, optical munitions, blunt or rubber projectiles, traction modifiers, nets or rapid-hardening rigid foam, microwave technologies, noxious smells, and acoustical interference technologies. The book looks at CALM (concepts, application, legal and moral) issues of use of non-lethal weapons in the current context. Besides the history, concept and design of various modern non-lethal weapons, it covers application for military and United Nations Peacekeeping operations in detail. The ongoing debate about legal and moral aspects of the use of force, in general, and non-lethal weapons, in particular, brings in a 360 perspective on the issue of non-lethal weapons before moving forward to exploring the field of neuro weapons and their implications.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The People's Liberation Army (PLA) a unified organization of China's land, sea, and air forces, owes allegiance to the Communist Party of China (CPC). It consists of nearly two million active-duty officers and civil cadres, NCOs, and conscripts. These personnel are governed by a large number of laws, rules and regulations. There is a lack of transparency and openness not only in the Chinese military court system but also in the personnel system. The PLA is undergoing a major transformation in the organisation, equipment and legal frameworks specifically after Xi Jinping took over the reins. PLA being a subset of Chinese society will reflect the changing values of society and replicate that in its own culture. This is where laws, rules and regulations controlling the society in general and PLA, in particular, will play a major role. This book looks at various facets of Chinese military laws, their implementation process and the subsequent impact on its military.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Contents: Preface. 1. Human cost of nuclear-weapons. 2. Nuclear weapons: Testing and facilities. 3. Current nuclear arsenal and its modernization plan. 4. Nuclear weapons in international law. 5. Nuclear-weapons free zones. 6. The treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons. 7. Nuclear weapons and humanity: What is the future of nuclear weapons? Bibliography. Index. An era of qualitative and quantitative expansion of nuclear arsenal began immediately after the Second World War. Today, with thousands of nuclear weapons deployed by multiple states including not so stable regimes and a possible access to non-state actors, threat of a nuclear conflagration persists. An accident or a rash decision could trigger an unprecedented man-made crisis. Even testing and storage of nuclear weapons has attendant environmental and human costs. And states continue to spend unprecedented amounts on upkeep and modernisation of nuclear weapons and their delivery platforms on land, air and maritime domain. International treaties and legal frameworks to contain and eliminate nuclear weapons are rather weak and discriminatory. In spite of some regional initiatives for creation of Nuclear Weapon Free Zones or No First Use policies by nuclear weapon owners, humanity continues to live under the dark shadow of a nuclear threat. Is our society looking at the issue in a holistic fashion to find a solution or trying to defer the hard decisions to the next generation? To understand the issue, this book looks at nuclear weapon's impact of various facets of our society including human and environmental costs and further examines the issue of various procedures, processes and legality in this domain.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. History shows that every medium-land, sea and air-has seen conflict. Reality dictates the space will be no different. The access to space and its use cannot be put in reverse gear. Outer space is still a peaceful place but the possibility of this domain turning into a theatre of armed conflict cannot be ruled out. Will battlespace engulf outer space? It is imperative to define how the military can use space assets, protect them, and devise new ways of handling this unique environment. Certain questions relating to the exploitation of outer space demand clear answers. For instance: Is outer space a part of battlespace? What is the international responsibility for the actions of commercial establishments and non-state actors in outer space; What military activity could be permitted on the Moon and celestial bodies; Where are the thresholds for interference, intervention, use of force, and armed attack in self-defence lies; and, Whether IHL applies in the event of an armed conflict occurring in the outer space? This book attempts to search for answers to some of these issues.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The Army Act (1950), the Air Force Act (1950) and the Navy Act (1957) provide a different legal framework for governing three wings of the Indian Armed Forces. These laws are derived primarily from the military laws promulgated by the British to govern the Native Indian Army and specifically after the Great Rebellion in 1857, its provisions were made more severe to serve the purposes of colonial masters. Even 75 years after Independence, several legal provisions followed in the Indian Armed Forces have a colonial footprint. The civilian criminal justice system in India, which has been modernized on the progressive principles of human rights, has been unjustly kept away from the military domain. The wind of change blowing over the military law world over has not permeated the closed prescient of the Indian military justice system. Since 2014, the government has repealed more than 1,500 old and obsolete laws; most of these were remnants of the British Era. However, the military legal system of the Victorian era is yet to see any change. With changing character of war forcing modernization of the three wings including a planned integration, there is a need to have a modern common law for the Indian Armed Forces. It must be based on our constitutional guarantees, changing composition of the armed forces, progressive principles of justice and human rights norms. This book takes a 360 view of the evolution of the Indian Military Legal system and proposes a pragmatic path ahead. Besides the armed forces and paramilitary personnel, this book will be of interest to parliamentarians, jurists, bureaucrats, and members of civil society who are associated with justice and accountability.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. War is generally characterised by extreme violence and destruction. The ongoing Russian-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas conflicts have demonstrated that war leads to suffering for both, whether the vanquished or the victor. In the Israel-Hamas conflict, as of 25 Dec 2023, over 22,000 Palestinians and Israelis in all have been killed and nearly 66,500 injured. Palestinians face a bleak future once Israel ends its deadly assault, with most of the civilian infrastructure turned to rubble.In order to limit human suffering and unwanted destruction, certain rules and regulations have been framed. While it is nearly impossible to impose these in a violent conflict wherein killing is legitimised, a legal framework exists to contain human suffering and destruction of civilian property unless required by imperative military necessity.This book on Military Operations covers the international humanitarian law with which the military commanders must be well-versed to ensure the legal and ethical conduct of their forces. This book includes various domains of wars and legal frameworks and attempts to put it in a simplistic form for quick comprehension by all stakeholders. It also includes certain emerging issues like lawfare, the applicability of international humanitarian law in outer space conflicts and the concept of command responsibility.This book, though not an official document of the government, has been designed and written for the commanders and officers of the armed forces of India who are likely to function in a tri-service environment. This book will also be useful to the officers of the Judge Advocate General Department, who serve alongside their commanders in the operational context as well as to the students of international humanitarian law, researchers, and policymakers.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In armed conflicts around the world, including the ongoing Israel-Hamas and Russia-Ukraine; the impermissible targeting of cultural properties and religious sites has resulted in their destruction as well as the killing and maiming of innocents. Protecting cultural property during war is crucial for preserving humanity's heritage and identity. International humanitarian law, particularly the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, provides a legal framework to safeguard cultural assets such as monuments, artworks, and religious sites. This convention mandates that all feasible measures be taken to protect cultural property from destruction or theft and requires warring parties to refrain from using such sites for military purposes.Despite these legal protections, cultural property remains vulnerable to intentional destruction, looting, and collateral damage during conflicts. To mitigate these risks, UNESCO and other international bodies work to raise awareness, implement protective measures, and facilitate the return of stolen artefacts. Protecting cultural property is not only about preserving the past but also about fostering peace, understanding, and reconciliation in post-conflict societies. This book takes a 360 view of all the relevant factors on this crucial aspect covering case studies from different parts of the world. The evolution of the legal framework for protecting cultural property is analysed in detail. Summation includes recommendations to conserve the inherited cultural property for future generations.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The maritime domain plays a crucial role in the globalized economy, and for a country like India with an extensive coastline and a significant Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), maritime security and management are of paramount importance. As a maritime nation, India recognizes the significance of maritime security and management. The process to establish theatre commands is a major step towards achieving better integration and coordination among the different branches of the Indian military. This move reflects a shift towards integrated military operations, where all three services (Army, Navy, and Air Force) work synchronously to achieve military objectives. One key aspect of this integration is the need for a shared understanding of operational law. Operational law refers to the legal framework that guides military actions, incorporating international, domestic, and military laws to ensure that military operations are conducted within legal and ethical boundaries. Given the complex and diverse threats that can emerge in the maritime domain, having a common understanding of operational law is crucial for effective decision-making and execution of missions. As India focuses on safeguarding its sea frontiers and addressing emerging asymmetrical and non-conventional threats in the maritime domain, the integration of operational law into military operations becomes even more important. This integration helps in preventing legal complications, ensuring compliance with international norms, protecting the rights of individuals and nations, and upholding the overall credibility of the military's actions. A number of changes have been caused by the major changes in war at sea and the law of the sea. Today, war at sea involves nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, supersonic aircraft, helicopters, drones, and ballistic, cruise, and other guided missiles as well as stealth and computer technology. This Manual on Maritime Operational Law will serve as a guide for all stake holders involved in maritime security. It will help to establish a common vocabulary and shared understanding of operational law between decision makers, force commanders and military legal experts. This shared understanding is vital for ensuring that military actions are conducted legally, ethically, and effectively and result in the responsible use of military power in the maritime domain.…
