Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical topic of international liability for using weapons banned due to their severe environmental and human impacts. It begins by outlining the historical context and the establishment of international agreements aimed at prohibiting such weapons, emphasizing the role of Jordan in advocating for these treaties. The text then explores the concept of internationally banned weapons, including chemical, biological, and nuclear arms, and their devastating effects. It highlights the international treaties that prohibit or limit the use of these weapons, such as the Geneva Conventions and the Chemical Weapons Convention. The chapter also examines the legal frameworks for mobilizing international liability against countries that violate these agreements, focusing on the provisions for compensation and penalties. Specific case studies, including the use of white phosphorus in Gaza, illustrate the real-world consequences of these violations. The text concludes with recommendations for enhancing international cooperation and legal accountability to prevent the use of banned weapons and protect human rights and the environment.
