| Summary |
Legal aspects play an increasingly important role in the international arena and influence both inter-state relations and the way states act or are expected to behave. A state that regards itself as a member of the international community must therefore address the legal aspects of its national security policies in order to be prepared for the legal discourse that penetrates the international political sphere. Understanding the legal context will also enable the state to exhaust potential legal measures available to it in the defense of its national security interests. This compilation of articles seeks to illustrate various aspects of the interface between law and national security in the domestic and international arenas. Because national security is a broad concept, encompassing many dimensions, the law dealing with security also covers a broad range of topics, as indicated by the selection of articles in this volume |
