Abstract

When conflicts involving armed force occur in the world and within countries, the interest of the scientific and pedagogical communities in their causes, nature, subject composition, functions and consequences grows. The popularity of studies of legal norms regulating the use of military (armed) force at the domestic and international levels is also increasing. The recent surge in military-legal research is no coincidence, a clear objectification of which was the appearance of a three-volume (the third volume in two books) monograph “Military Law” under the auspices of the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The work on the conceptualization of the historical-legal, theoretical-systemic and international-legal aspects of Military Law was carried out by a large team of well-known and young researchers. At the same time, the generalization of a wide array of military-legal knowledge, the demarcation of Military Law as a branch of law, the disclosure of its systemic and functional characteristics made it possible to generalize historical and modern ideas about Military Law. Based on volumes I and II of the monograph published in 2021, the textbook “Military Law” was published, which has a fundamental theoretical basis and is based on an empirical array of reliable data. The article formulates an assessment of the textbook “Military Law”, proposes the main directions for its implementation in the educational activities of military educational organizations of higher education, military training centers of universities and legal training in the troops (forces). The importance of the textbook for the military-legal specialization of the specialty “Legal support of national security”, as well as other legal specialties of higher education is noted. It is indicated that the textbook is not only an effective pedagogical tool for the formation and development of military-legal knowledge, but also serves as a guide for the organization of research work and legal support for the activities of military units (formations, organizations, institutions).
