This book explores the unique social and environmental factors
which influence soldiers to commit war crimes. With a focus on
decision-making processes, this monograph provides a significant
interdisciplinary analysis of how soldiers decide to follow the
commands of their superior officers, even if that means acting
illegally. Making the key distinction between normal civilian
society and the shocking realities of war, the author facilitates
the reader with a comprehensive understanding of what a front-line
soldier faces in contemporary combat situations. Killing on Command
presents the limits of the law in preventing the occurrence of war
crimes. Realistic and practical measures for armed conflict,
including the regulation and prevention of violence, and the just
implementation of legal standards are all questioned and examined
in depth. Given a current focus on the regulation of conduct in
war, and the recent prosecution of soldiers, this book will be of
particular interest to scholars in the fields of criminology and
international relations, as well as policy-makers.
