International
human rights law offers an overarching international legal framework to help
determine the legality of the use of any weapon, as well as its lawful supply.
It governs acts of States and non-State actors alike. In doing so, human rights
law embraces international humanitarian law regulation of the use of weapons in
armed conflict and disarmament law, as well as international criminal justice
standards. In situations of law enforcement (such as counterpiracy, prisons,
ordinary policing, riot control, and many peace operations), human rights law is
the primary legal frame of reference above domestic criminal law. This
important and timely book draws on all aspects of international weapons law and
proposes a new view on international law governing weapons. Also included is a
specific discussion on armed drones and cyberattacks, two highly topical issues
in international law and international relations.
