Larry May argues that the best way to understand war crimes is as
crimes against humanness rather than as violations of justice. He
shows that in a deeply pluralistic world, we need to understand the
rules of war as the collective responsibility of states that send
their citizens into harm's way, as the embodiment of humanity, and
as the chief way for soldiers to retain a sense of honour on the
battlefield. Throughout, May demonstrates that the principle of
humanness is the cornerstone of international humanitarian law, and
is itself the basis of the traditional principles of
discrimination, necessity, and proportionality. He draws
extensively on the older Just War tradition to assess recent cases
from the International Tribunal for Yugoslavia as well as examples
of atrocities from the archives of the International Committee of
the Red Cross.
