Recenzii
"The law of targeting lies at the heart of international humanitarian law and no aspect of targeting is more central than the concept of military objective. Dr. Jachec-Neale has produced a masterful study of the subject that comprehensively surveys and analyzes the problematic issues it raises while placing them in a real-world contexts. It is a work that will not only be of great value to scholars and jurists, but also prove of inestimable practical use to military legal advisers and operators responsible for planning, approving, and executing attacks consistent with international humanitarian law on the battlefield."

"This is a very important work for three reasons. First, surprisingly, it is the first monograph on the subject since the adoption of the definition of military objective in 1977. Second, the quality of the research means that both the law and the practice are thoroughly covered. Third, and most important, it takes an original approach to the relevance and use of military doctrine that has implications for the study of other areas of the law of armed conflict."

Professor Françoise Hampson, University of Essex
'The subject matter without doubt deserves to be dealt with in a monograph. So far there has been no legal analysis of the definition of military objectives in a monographic work. Rather, the majority of published works either deal with particular aspects of the definition only or they address the respective issues in a cursory way. Hence, any thorough analysis of the definition will deepen the jurisprudential insight and/or contribute further important facets to the jurisprudential course.
The author's results, while not necessarily shared by all, will further contribute to the continuing discussion amongst international scholars on legality of military targets insofar as objects are concerned. Her approach is based on valid and recognised methodological procedures and her arguments are often cogently convincing. It may be also stressed that she has proven a remarkable ability to understand the genuine characteristics of military operations and of military doctrine. This is far from lying outside the scope of a legal analysis because the law of armed conflict/international humanitarian law cannot be fully comprehended if these aspects are not adequately appreciated.'

Descriere
The concept that certain objects and persons may be legitimately attacked during armed conflicts has been well recognised and developed through the history of warfare. This book explores the relationship between international law and targeting practice in determining whether an object is a lawful military target. By examining both the interpretation and its post-ratification application this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the definition of military objective adopted in 1977 Additional Protocol I to the four 1949 Geneva Conventions and its use in practice.
