The Use of Force against Individuals in War under International Law

Ka Lok Yip's monograph is an important contribution to the scholarly literature on international law, human rights, global studies, and social theory. I hope this book inspires more scholars to analyze other conceptions of justice and moral responsibility in the context of war.
