Perpetual War and International Law explores how the U.S.-led war on terror has transformed international law, human rights, and global security. While major combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have formally ended, U.S. and allied counterterrorism activities persist worldwide, raising urgent questions about the role of law in enabling and sustaining armed conflict. Bringing together leading scholars in law, ethics, and security studies, the volume traces how legal and normative precedents established during the war on terror continue to shape contemporary conflicts.
