Law and Morality at War develops a normative framework within which
the law of armed conflict should be evaluated, interpreted, and
reformed. The book defends existing protections for civilians,
proposes new protections for combatants, and interprets vague and
ambiguous rules - including discrimination, precautions, and
proportionality - in their morally best light. The book makes
original contributions to a variety of current debates in moral and
legal philosophy, including the justification of legal authority,
moral liability to defensive harm, and moral choice under
uncertainty. At the same time, the book directly confronts the
complex problems of the modern battlefield, including the use of
human shields. Both theoretical and practical, the book aims to
better guide combatants and better protect civilians. With a new
preface addressing recent developments and continued armed
conflict.
