'The book is both legally sophisticated and practically oriented, concluding with a series of recommendations for scientists, governments and armed forces.' Professor Hilary Charlesworth, University of Melbourne, and Judge, International Court of Justice 'The book will fully inform – with sufficient detail and clarity - an expert in one field who needs or wants information in another field … to analyse future 'means or methods of warfare', involving any number of new technologies, in the complex and broad legal review of contemporary arms control frameworks.' Professor Emerita Nancy Connell, Rutgers University 'Through her nuanced advocacy of existing rules and methodologies, Leins makes positive recommendations for a more cooperative future discussion across legal, social, and technical communities, bypassing the past conflicts faced in the relationship between LOAC and human rights law groups.' Professor Robert McLaughlin, Australian National Centre for Oceans Resources and Security 'New War Technologies and International Law provides an authoritative account of the legality of using nanotechnology in war.' Dr Filippa Lentzos, King's College London

'Kobi Leins's book navigates the uncharted territory of international law's regulation of nanomaterials in times of conflict. She offers an illuminating account of the legal limits already imposed on the use of nanotechnologies in armed conflict as well as the gaps in regulation. The book is both legally sophisticated and practically oriented, concluding with a series of recommendations for scientists, governments and armed forces.' Professor Hilary Charlesworth, University of Melbourne
