Neutrality in the Age of the UN Charter

The war in Ukraine has tested core elements of contemporary international law. Against this backdrop, the continued viability of neutrality under international law has come under renewed scrutiny. This volume brings together experts from Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Italy to examine the issue from the perspectives of international, public, and European law, as well as history. They conclude that, within the United Nations peace-law framework, states are obliged to show solidarity with the victim of aggression, and that neutrality may ultimately jeopardize even the security of neutral states.With contributions byMarkus Beham | Thomas Cottier | Ulrike Haider-Quercia | Peter Hilpold | Ralph Janik | Marco Jorio | Paul Luif | Markus Mohler | Stefan Oeter | René Rhinow | Urs Saxer | Daniel Woker
