Books by Mary Ellen (University of Notre Dame O'Connell

This book provides an in-depth and up-to-date study of the international law on self-defence against non-State actors. The 'trialogical' method employs a novel and unique format that reacts to shifting world order. The book is relevant for academics and students of international law, and for practitioners.

This book challenges long-standing assumptions of international law experts on the use of force, while also seeking to re-engage the public in understanding and committing again to a cause that made the phrase 'peace through law' famous. Aimed at anyone concerned with the problem of war.
