The Transformation of Occupied Territory in International Law Andrea Carcano

This volume discusses the practice of transformative military occupation from the perspective of public international law through the prism of the occupation of Iraq and other cases of historical significance. It seeks to assess how international law should respond to measures undertaken in the pursuit of a given transformative project, whether or not supported by the Security Council.

A monographic study tackling the bulk of the international law issues that emerge during and as a result of a transformative occupation, based on a comprehensive analysis of historical cases, applicable norms, and relevant facts.

"With this thorough and thought provoking study, Andrea Carcano has put us all in his debt."
From the foreword by Georges Abi-Saab, Emeritus Professor, Graduate Institute of International Studies and Development.
