In the last two decades, human rights law has played an expanding
role in the legal regulation of wartime conduct. In the process,
human rights law and international humanitarian law have developed
a complicated sibling relationship. For some, this relationship is
viewed as a mutually reinforcing effort between like-minded regimes
designed to civilize human behavior. For others, the relationship
is a more complicated sibling rivalry. In this book, an
unparalleled collection of legal theorists examine the relationship
between these two bodies of law. Each chapter skilfully maps the
possibilities of harmonization while, at the same time, raising
cautionary flags about the limits of that project. The authors not
only chart the existing state of the law, but also debate the
normative implications of the continuing influence of human rights
norms on current practices including torture, targeted killings,
the conduct of non-international armed conflicts, and post-war
state building.
