Legitimate and Illegitimate Wars after 1990 (Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, the Balkans)Reviewed - Research

Doc. PhDr. Jan Eichler, CSc.

This treatise is a follow-up to an article by the same author in Military Review No. 2, 2012, dealing with legal and illegal war after 1990. Now the author concentrates on another key question: the legitimacy and the unlawfulness of force deployments in internationalrelations. The paper is grounded on fundamental works by the former Australian foreign secretary Gareth Evans, setting international rules or criteria determining when it is right to fight. The effectiveness of the global security system is not only on the legality of its security decisions, military actions, but the common perception of their legitimacy-whether they are made on solid evidentiary grounds, for the right reasons, morally as well as legally.

Keywords: security threats,security risks,legitimity,armed conficts,force use,war
