Seit 1914 prägt der Leitspruch "Frieden durch Recht" die Arbeit des weltweit ältesten universitären Völkerrechtsinstituts, des Walther-Schücking-Instituts für Internationales Recht an der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. Aus Anlass seines 100-jährigen Bestehens arbeitete eine internationale Konferenz das Thema der Friedenswahrung und -wiederherstellung durch Völkerrecht in Theorie und Praxis auf. Der vorliegende Band versammelt die Konferenzbeiträge, die vor dem Hintergrund jüngster Ereignisse über den Anlass hinaus drängende Aktualität besitzen.
