A new nuclear arms race is underway. This book describes in accessible language how and why it is happening, who still possesses nuclear weapons, and what constraints apply to those weapons under international law.

The book explains how the right to life seeks to protect everyone and to ensure accountability for those who have been unlawfully killed, addressing the protection of a wide range of groups and the responsibility of not only governments but also the private sector to respect the right to life.

For the first time, this book offers a detailed explanation of the principles of necessity, proportionality and precaution in regulating the use of force in international law. It also explores the use of force by law enforcement agencies in a range of scenarios and considers the impact of human rights.
