Underground Warfare
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-045725-9 (ISBN)
To Dr. Richemond-Barak, this challenge has not only been under-explored, it is also largely underestimated by the community of states, security experts, and public opinion. She analyzes traditional concepts of the laws of war as they relate to tunnels and underground operations, contemplating questions such as whether tunnels constitute legitimate targets, the assessment of proportionality in anti-tunnel operations, and the availability of advanced warning in this complex terrain. She also identifies issues that are unique to underground warfare, including those that arise when cross-border tunnels burrow under a state's own civilian infrastructure.
Daphné Richemond-Barak is Assistant Professor at the Lauder School of Government, Diplomacy, and Strategy, and Senior Researcher and Head of the International Law Desk at the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya. She is a renowned and prolific expert on public international law and international humanitarian law specializing in the law of armed conflict. She has written extensively on contemporary issues such as counterinsurgency law, human rights/humanitarian law convergence, non-state actors in armed conflict, private security military contractors, transnational terrorist groups, and intelligent defense systems.
