Description:... At a time when experts agree that the laws of naval warfare and maritime neutrality are obsolete and must be reformed, Politakis critically explores international laws governing naval operations. He considers the influence of the UN Charter on traditional military law, and discusses selected topics such as morality and chivalry in the domain of the laws of war and the paradox of today's electronic combat environment.
