This Manual's description states: "The result of over five years of work by a team of over a dozen top legal scholars, the Manual is intended to reflect an objective assessment of the existing law (lex lata) of the jus ad bellum, with the hope that it can serve as a ready and valuable reference for government representatives, both civilian and military, as well as for academics. It sets forth, in a structurally efficient and comprehensive manner, the legal issues associated with each of the lawful categories of the use of force deemed permissible within the context of the UN Charter and customary international law."
