War crimes have devastating effects on victims and perpetrators and
endanger broader political and military goals. The protection of
civilians, one of the most fundamental norms in the laws of war,
appears to have weakened despite almost universal international
agreement. Using insights from organizational theory, this book
seeks to understand the process between military socialization and
unit participation in war crimes. How do militaries train their
soldiers in the laws of war? How do they enforce compliance with
these laws? Drawing on evidence from the Korean War, the Malayan
Emergency, and the Canadian peacekeeping mission in Somalia, the
author discovers that military efforts to train soldiers about the
laws of war are poor and leadership often sent mixed signals about
the importance of compliance. However, units that developed
subcultures that embraced these laws and had strong leadership were
more likely to comply than those with weak discipline or
countercultural norms.
