Details

The Research Handbook on Intelligence and International Law brings together expert scholars and practitioners to comprehensively assess how international law applies to the work of the intelligence community.

Among other issues, it examines: the role and impact of the intelligence community as a normative actor in the international legal system; the legality of influence operations; the lawfulness of covert operations; the international legal issues raised by intelligence sharing during military operations; the application of international law to political and economic espionage; State responsibility for negligent intelligence; the privileges and immunities of intelligence officials under the laws of peace and war; the collection of intelligence by peacekeeping missions; the protection afforded by international law to underwater sea cables; the legality of intelligence operations that expose gross human rights abuses; and the extent to which international courts and tribunals have examined the application of international law to intelligence activities.

This Research Handbook is an essential resource for students, academics, practitioners, and policymakers working in international law and intelligence studies.
