Abstract:
This chapter seeks to clarify the scope of the relevant rules of the law of armed conflict and to assess, in abstracto, the legality of the use of nuclear weapons under these rules. It first describes relevant rules of treaty law, essentially Additional Protocol I of 1977. It then discusses protection of the environment during armed conflict under customary international law.
