The monograph addresses fundamental legal aspects of military assistance on request. The author examines the necessary authority for a request for military assistance as well as the type of situations during which such assistance may be requested. Finally, it explores the question of if and to what extent the extension of military assistance on request by a recognized government changes the rules of international law governing the use of force.
