These 20 papers are presented by Engdahl (research fellow, Swedish National Defense College) and Wrange (principal legal adviser on international law, Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs) as a tribute to Swedish scholar and practitioner of international law Ove Bring. The volume's contents reflect Bring's analytical and normative concern with international law relating to the use of force. It also reflects his interests in the Nordic dimensions of international law by primarily consisting of papers from Nordic contributors (including former UN weapons inspector Hans Blix). Following reviews of Bring as a person and a scholar by his wife, Marie Jacobsson, also a scholar of international law, papers address such topics as individual responsibility under national and international law for the conduct of armed conflict, the UN Security Council and its mandate to maintain international peace and security, national sovereignty and responsibility for spent nuclear fuel, the developing relationship between law and politics in the UN Human Rights Council, the future of human rights law in peace operations, submarine operations and international law, problems with the distinction of occupation and sovereignty, international law and the 2006 Israel-Lebanon War, sacrificial violence and targeting in international humanitarian law, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the law of armed force, international law and Kosovo's declaration of independence, and the need for a World Court of Human Rights.
