Newly revised and expanded, The Law of Armed Conflict, 2nd edition
introduces law students and undergraduates to the law of war in an
age of terrorism. What law of armed conflict (LOAC), or its
civilian counterpart, international humanitarian law (IHL), applies
in a particular armed conflict? Are terrorists legally bound by
that law? What constitutes a war crime? What (or who) is a lawful
target and how are targeting decisions made? What are 'rules of
engagement' and who formulates them? How can an autonomous weapon
system be bound by the law of armed conflict? Why were the
Guantanamo military commissions a failure? This book takes students
through these LOACIHL questions and more, employing real-world
examples and legal opinions from the US and abroad. From Nuremberg
to 9/11, from courts-martial to the US Supreme Court, from the
nineteenth century to the twenty-first, the law of war is
explained, interpreted, and applied.
