Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Proportionality in International Humanitarian Law, Amichai Cohen and David Zlotogorski offer a fresh and comprehensive look at the principle of proportionality. They discuss various areas in which there are disagreements over the way in which proportionality should be applied and offer original solutions to existing debates. Moreover, they suggest that when applying proportionality, the focus of the analysis should be on the procedures leading to the attack, and the precautions taken by the attacking force. They also discuss the course states should follow in investigating possible violations of the principle.
