Wars of Law
2018
Overview
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.
