Springer has published a new book
on the 1998-2000 Eritrea-Ethiopia War in international legal perspective.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book centres on the war that
raged between Eritrea and Ethiopia from 1998 to 2000, a war that caused great
loss of life and tremendous devastation. It analyses the war in great detail
from an international legal perspective: the nature and the state of the
boundary conflict preceding the actual armed conflict, the military actions
themselves, the role of the UN peace-keeping mission, the responsibility for
the multitude of explosive remnants of the war left behind. Ample attention is
paid to the decisions of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Claims Commission and the
Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission.
This study is not limited to the
war and the period immediately following it, it also examines its more extended
aftermath prolonging the analysis as far as the more recent improvement in the
relations between Eritrea and Ethiopia, away from a situation of ‘no war, no
peace’ that prevailed after the armed conflict ended. The analysis of the war
and its aftermath is not only in terms of international legal issues, it has
been placed in a wider than strictly legal perspective.
The book is a valuable work for
academics and practitioners in international law, human rights and humanitarian
law in particular, for political scientists, diplomats, civil servants,
historians, and all those others seriously interested in the Horn of Africa.
