Description
This course will address the important field historically called The Laws of War. While the course will focus principally on constraints on the conduct of war (jus in bello) inevitably we will discuss the limits societies have placed on going to war (jus ad bellum). As long as people have waged war, some have sought to civilize it, to make it more humane. The struggle continues to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war” (as the UN Charter demands). This course will introduce students to this long, tragic history and engage them in research to develop their own insights.
