From the Nuremberg Trials to the grisly campaign of "ethnic
cleansing" in today's Bosnia, the world recognizes that certain
actions are morally and legally unacceptable even in the midst of
war. But when is a nation justified in going to war? And how far
can it go in inflicting damage on an enemy? What weapons can be
developed and stockpiled? What is the proper treatment of
civilians, detainees and POWs? "The Laws of War" features extensive
excerpts from treaties and authoritative judgments to answer these
and other questions. The result is a unique and comprehensive
reference work on global problems ranging from terrorism and
guerrilla warfare to the prosecution of war crimes. Documents
include: The Charter of the United Nations, The Hague Convections,
The Geneva Conventions and Protocols, The Nuremberg Judgment,
Israeli commission of inquiry into the events at the refugee camps
in Beirut and an investigation of alleged war crimes in the former
Yugoslavia.
