Law and Morality At War

Zusatztext The legal regulation of warfare involves an ever-present tension between idealism and realism, between imagining a more perfect arrangement for human affairs and making peace with the reality that war is, in some cases, inevitable. In this stimulating and provocative book, Haque deftly combines close legal analysis about the current state of international law with philosophical insights on how it should evolve. Few scholars have such an impressive command of both domains and the insight and daring to combine them so effectively. Informationen zum Autor Adil Ahmad Haque is Professor of Law and Judge Jon O. Newman Scholar at Rutgers Law School as well as Associate Graduate Faculty at the Rutgers University Department of Philosophy. Klappentext What are the moral and legal issues of contemporary warfare? Drawing on cutting-edge debates in moral philosophy, this book proposes how the laws of war can be evaluated, criticized, and reformed, making a valuable and timely contribution to a pressing international debate.
