"Prior to the progressive development of the Law of Armed Conflict heralded by the 1949 Geneva Conventions - most particularly in relation to the concepts of international and non-international armed conflict - the customary doctrine on recognition of belligerency functioned for almost 200 years as the definitive legal scheme for differentiating internal conflict from 'civil wars' in which the law of war as applicable between states applied de jure. Employing a legal historical approach, this book describes the thematic and schematic fundamentals of the doctrine, and analyses some of the more significant challenges to its application. In doing so, the book assesses whether, how, and why the doctrine on recognition of belligerency was considered 'fit for purpose', and seeks to inform debate as to its continuity and utility within the modern scheme of the Law of Armed Conflict"

It is commonly taught that the prohibition of the use of force is an achievement of the twentieth century and that beforehand States were free to resort to the arms as they pleased. International law, the story goes, was 'indifferent' to the use of force. 'Reality' as it stems from historical sources, however, appears much more complex. Using tools of history, sociology, anthropology and social psychology, this monograph offers new insights into the history of the prohibition of the use of force in international law. Conducting in-depth analysis of nineteenth century doctrine and State practice, it paves the way for an alternative narrative on the prohibition of force, and seeks to understand the origins of international law's traditional account. In so doing, it also provides a more general reflection on how the discipline writes, rewrites and chooses to remember its own history.

La guerre en Ukraine n'est pas seulement le produit des « délires paranoïaques » d'un homme, fût-il président d'une puissance qui compte, y compris sur le plan militaire. La pensée unique et les caricatures idéologiques qui n'ont cessé d'accompagner ce retour de la guerre en Europe font silence sur les trente années d'une page d'histoire déterminante, qui a contribué à réunir toutes les conditions d'une escalade et d'un conflit de haute intensité dont le peuple ukrainien paie le prix le plus élevé. Comprendre toutes les causes de cette guerre, comprendre l'erreur stratégique majeure de Poutine, le rôle décisif des États-Unis, de l'OTAN et plus généralement des puissances occidentales est indispensable au regard des effets de transformation globale de la situation internationale et du monde de demain dont ce conflit est porteur. Jacques Fath est un spécialiste des relations internationales, des enjeux de la sécurité et de la conflictualité mondiale. Il est membre de l'Initiative pour le désarmement nucléaire (IDN). Son approche alternative est résolument critique des politiques et des courants de pensée dominants.
