Prohibited 'use of force' under article 2(4) of the UN Charter and customary international law has until now not been clearly defined, despite its central importance in the international legal order and for international peace and security.
In her new open access book, Prohibited Force: The Meaning of ‘Use of Force' in International Law, Erin Pobjie offers an original framework to identify prohibited uses of force, including those that use emerging technology or take place in newer military domains such as outer space. In doing so, she explains the emergence of the customary prohibition of the use of force and its relationship with article 2(4) and identifies the elements of a prohibited 'use of force’.
In this book launch, Erin Pobjie will discuss her book’s main findings with leading international law experts, including the key open legal questions regarding how to interpret and apply the prohibition of the use of force, contemporary challenges facing the prohibition of the use of force, and the relevance of jus contra bellum in this context.
This event will be followed by drinks.
