Abstract

This book by Professor Cannizzaro on the proportionality principle helps to fill the gap in the international law literature on this subject. Various scholars in recent years have been investigating the nature and the role of the proportionality principle, but they have focused mainly on the discipline of European Community law, where the principle first emerged at the supra-national level and gained an increasingly important position over the years. Up until now, however, a broad and comprehensive inquiry on the proportionality principle from the point of view of public international law is still missing. The author's analysis of the proportionality principle begins with the assumption that, while references to such a principle are now frequent in the international practice of States, its nature and content are still quite uncertain. Above all, the author suggests that the basic question that needs to be addressed is whether proportionality, which is mostly used by States to justify unilateral actions performed to protect their national interests at risk, represents a conceptually unitary standard of conduct for such unilateral actions, or whether, on the contrary, behind the use of the principle, a plurality of conceptual standards is hidden.
