This book deals with the difficulty democracies face in
conducting asymmetric warfare in highly populated areas without
violating international humanitarian law. On numerous occasions,
democratic nations have been singled out by human rights NGOs for
the brutality of their modus operandi, for their inadequate
attention to the protection of civilian populations, or for acts of
abuse or torture on prisoners. Why do they perpetrate these
violations? Do they do so intentionally or unintentionally? Can
democracies combat irregular armed groups without violating
international law? When their population is under threat, do they
behave as non-democracies would? Does this type of war inevitably
produce war crimes on a more or less massive scale?
