There are strong moral and legal pressures against harming
civilians in times of conflict, yet neither just war theory nor
international law is clear about what responsibilities belligerents
have to correct harm once it has been inflicted. In this book,
Marcus Schulzke argues that military powers have a duty to provide
assistance to the civilians they attack during wars, and that this
duty is entailed by civilians' right to life. Schulzke develops new
just war principles requiring belligerents to provide medical
treatment and financial compensation to civilian victims, and then
shows how these principles can be implemented in governmental,
military, and international practice. He calls for a more
individual-focused conception of international law and post-war
justice for victims - as opposed to current state- or group-based
reconstruction and reparation programs - which will provide a
framework for protecting civilian rights.
