The US government claims that the use of nuclear weapons is lawful. Can such a claim be sustained? This book investigates this question and then goes on to a more extensive enquiry into the options of legal scholars on the legal status of nuclear weapons and international law.
The United States is the only nation to have used nuclear weapons in warfare and claims - not only through its State Department, but through a Congressional vote as late as 1999 -that the use of nuclear weapons is lawful. Can such a claim, with its undeniable assurance of the greatest degree of destruction of life and property this planet will ever have seen, be sustained? The author investigates this question as a prelude to a more extensive inquiry into the options of legal scholars on the legal status of nuclear weapons and international law.
