The chief means to limit and calculate the costs of war are the
philosophical and legal concepts of proportionality and necessity.
Both categories are meant to restrain the most horrific potential
of war. The volume explores the moral and legal issues in the
modern law of war in three major categories. In so doing, the
contributions will look for new and innovative approaches to
understanding the process of weighing lives implicit in all
theories of jus in bello: who counts in war, understanding
proportionality, and weighing lives in asymmetric conflicts. These
questions arise on multiple levels and require interdisciplinary
consideration of both philosophical and legal themes.
