International relations; Legal history; Treaties & other sources of international law

The principle of non-intervention is one of the most venerable principles of international law. Although not expressly mentioned in the Charter of the United Nations, at least as an inter-state prohibition, the principle currently appears in a plethora of treaties and UN General Assembly resolutions and has been invoked by states of all geographical and political denominations. Despite this, the determination of its exact content has remained an enigma.

International Law and the Principle of Non-Intervention: History, Theory, and Interactions with Other Principlessolves this enigma by exploring what constitutes an 'intervention' in international law and when interventions are unlawful. These questions are approached from three different perspectives, which are reflected in the book's structure: historical, theoretical, and systemic. Through a comprehensive survey of primary documents and of over 200 cases of intervention from the mid-18th century to the present day, as well as an extensive literature search, this work provides an in-depth analysis of the principle of non-intervention which links it to fundamental notions of international law, including sovereignty, use of force, self-determination, and human rights protection.

Reviews for International Law and the Principle of Non-Intervention: History, Theory, and Interactions with Other Principles

Roscini (law, Univ. of Westminster, England) has compiled an extensive review of thinking about the principle of nonintervention in international law. His impressive research covers historical, theoretical, and systemic factors. The book is a veritable one-volume encyclopedia on the subject. * D. P. Forsythe, CHOICE * With its wealth of detail and careful scholarship, Roscini's book will surely remain an important resource for anyone seeking to understand the principle of non-intervention. It is highly recommended for lawyers, international relations specialists, and anyone interested in the history and current state of international law. * Sir Michael Wood KC, Heidelberg Journal of International Law * As the world drifts toward greater dissensus about modes of internal governance and greater distrust of cross-border projections of power, the law of non-intervention is likely to become all the more relevant. Roscini has provided a worthy guide to both its foundations and its fault lines. * Brad R. Roth, Journal of International Humanitarian Legal Studies. * Marco Roscinis monograph offers a comprehensive account of the historical evolution of the principle of non-interference. It precisely defines the principles scope—extending beyond the mere prohibition of armed intervention—and compellingly examines its interaction with other fundamental principles and norms of international law. The authors conclusions are well-supported by a thorough analysis of relevant international practice and scholarly literature. These qualities make the work an essential resource for anyone seeking to grapple with these themes. * Alessandra Annoni, Rivista di diritto internazionale *
