Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).

The UN's capacity for adapting to radical changes of circumstance -- Use of force by the United Nations -- The original parameters of self-defence -- Self-defence against state-sponsored terrorists and infiltrators -- Self-defence against ideological subversion -- Self-defence against attacks on citizens abroad -- Anticipatory self-defence -- Countermeasures and self-help -- The 'purely humanitarian' intervention -- What, eat the cabin boy? Uses of force that are illegal but justifiable.

The nations that drafted the UN Charter in 1945 clearly were more concerned about peace than about justice. As a result, the Charter prohibits all use of force by states except in the event of an armed attack or when authorised by the Security Council. This arrangement has only very imperfectly withstood the test of time and changing world conditions. In requiring states not to use force in self-defence until after they had become the object of an actual armed attack, the Charter failed to address a growing phenomenon of clandestine subversion and of instantaneous nuclear threats. Fortunately although the Charter is very hard to amend, the drafters did agree that it should be interpreted flexibly by the United Nations' principal political institutions. In this way the norms governing use of force in international affairs have been adapted to meet changing circumstances and new challenges. The book also relates these changes in law and practice to changing public values pertaining to the balance between maintaining peace and promoting justice.
