Summary:

The successful transition from armed conflict to peace is one of the greatest challenges of contemporary warfare. The laws and principles governing transitions from conflict to peace (jus post bellum) have only recently gained attention in legal scholarship. This book explores the different legal meanings and components of the concept, including its implications in contemporary politics and practice.
