The stationing of foreign armed forces abroad in peacetime has been a constant & distinctive feature of the post-1945 bipolar world. This book is the first systematic study of the subject to look beyond the areas of criminal & civil jurisdiction to broader issues of international law arising out of the establishment & use of foreign military installations in time of peace. Implementation of basing agreements between states sending & states hosting foreign armed forces has resulted in a large body of state practice that includes such major international incidents as the U.S. air raid on Libya in 1986 & the U.S. intervention in Panama in 1989. This book assesses the future of foreign military installations against the background of the end of the Cold War, the unification of Germany, the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, & the emerging European security order.

Based on a flexible two-element identification approach, focusing more on opinio juris, Yudan Tan convincingly argues that provisions of the Rome Statute were partly declaratory of custom when adopted in 1998, and that they are also partly declaratory of custom at the present time.
