This collection of scholarly and critical essays about the legal
aspects of the Vietnam War explores various crimes committed by the
United States against North Vietnam: war of aggression; war crimes
in bombing civilian targets such as schools and hospitals, and
using napalm, cluster bombs, and Agent Orange; crimes against
humanity in moving large parts of the population to so-called
strategic hamlets; and alleged genocide and ecocide. International
lawyer Richard Falk, who observed these acts personally in North
Vietnam in 1968, uses international law to show how they came
about. This book brings together essays that he has written on the
Vietnam War and on its relationship to international law, American
foreign policy, and the global world order. Falk argues that only a
stronger adherence to international law can save the world from
such future tragedies and create a sustainable world order.
