War and society
Rīga Stradiņš University, Riga, Latvia
A discussion of effects of war on society is desirable as it can stimulate nations and their politicians to refrain in their international and non-international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the state. The prohibition of the use of force is a valid norm of customary international law and is fixed in the Charter of the United Nations. Any specific use of force can be lawful only if it is based on exceptions of this rule (action of self-defence under the Article 51 or action under specific authorization by the Security Council under Chapter VII). However the main issue is how to ensure that the other states respect this principle of non-use of force.
Key words: effects of war on society / prevention of an armed conflict
