reviewed Crimes of War: What the Public Should Know on April 24, 2020 Crimes of War
This joint effort of lawyers and journalists provides perhaps the most complete introduction to international humanitarian law to be found in a single volume. Divided by topic and organized alphabetically, this collection of essays is designed to acquaint the general public with the particulars of the laws of war as well of the practicalities surrounding their enforcement - or often lack of same. And though on occasion it might have been nice to have a little more law in the journalists' essays and a little more humanity in some of the legal analysis, for the most part the contributors do an admirable job explaining not only the rules that should govern conduct during armed conflict but also the real, personalized need for the world to turn a little kinder.
