The European Convention on Human Rights is now crucial to decisions to be taken by the military and their political leaders in 'hard power' situations - that is, classical international and non-international armed conflict, belligerent occupation, peacekeeping and peace-enforcing and anti-terrorism and anti-piracy operations, but also hybrid warfare, cyber-attack and targeted assassination. Guidance is needed, therefore, on how Convention law relates to these decisions. That guidance is precisely what this book aims to offer. It focuses primarily on States' accountability under the Convention, but also shows that human rights law, used creatively, can actually help States achieve their objectives.
