In Wars of Law, Tanisha M. Fazal assesses the unintended
consequences of the proliferation of the laws of war for the
commencement, conduct, and conclusion of wars over the course of
the past one hundred fifty years. Fazal outlines three main
arguments: early laws of war favored belligerents, but more recent
additions have constrained them; this shift may be attributable to
a growing divide between lawmakers and those who must comply with
international humanitarian law; and lawmakers have been
consistently inattentive to how rebel groups might receive these
laws. By using the laws of war strategically, Fazal suggests,
belligerents in both interstate and civil wars relate those laws to
their big-picture goals. Why have states stopped issuing formal
declarations of war? Why have states stopped concluding formal
peace treaties? Why are civil wars especially likely to end in
peace treaties today? In addressing such questions, Fazal provides
a lively and intriguing account of the implications of the laws of
war.
