ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | This book grew out of three workshops on international law and the use of force. A recurring issue thoughout this book is whether the use of force since the end of the Cold War has affected the definition of state sovereignty. By the time of the Iraq invasion in March 2003, the question was whether some uses of force that were long-considered prohibited by the principle of non-intervention had become lawful. If so, the principle of non-intervention, which is protective of state sovereignty, has been weakened. Did the use of force to protect human rights, to respond to terrorism, for arms control or to preempt future threats become lawful, somehow otherwise legitimate? In some important respects the U.N. Charter of 1945 continues to provide an immportant normative restraint in international relations. The contributors investigate what change has or should occur for the 21st century. |
