englischThe prohibition of the use of force is of central interest in international law. Yet this is only partly the case with regard to armed conflicts in Africa. The author closes a gap in scholarship by analyzing armed conflicts on the continent following the historic changes in 1989/90. Thereby she goes beyond the traditional boundaries of the ius ad bellum and demonstrates, in light of the development of human rights doctrine, the existence of an already emerged prohibition of the use of military force within a State (ius contra bellum internum).

Furthermore, the book focuses on interventions by regional organizations. It divides the possible exceptions of the use of force into procedural/formal and substantive/material aspects and analyses the thesis whether a multilateral intervention is already legal when just one of these elements is lawful. This is the case with regard to interventions authorized by the UN Security Council. Furthermore, humanitarian intervention by a regional organization may under narrow circumstances proceed on lawful without a UN mandate.

»die erste Arbeit im deutschsprachigen Schrifttum zum Völkerrecht der Gewaltvermeidung, die einen starken Fokus auf die Praxis in diesem Bereich in Afrika hat. Der Autorin kommt nunmehr das Verdienst zu, diese Lücke in der Forschung geschlossen zu haben ... wird als Grundlage für die völkerrechtswissenschaftliche Behandlung künftiger Fälle von gewaffneten Konflikten in Afrika dienen.«
