Newly revised and updated, The Law of Armed Conflict, introduces
students 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 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? Featuring new
chapters, this book takes students through these topics 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 with clarity and
depth.
