About the author

David Traven is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at California State University-Fullerton.

Summary

Traven's analysis will provide IR theorists, international lawyers, and moral philosophers with a better understanding of why civilian immunity norms emerged and developed in modern international law. Furthermore, it will help them better understand why these norms fail to adequately protect civilians, and what can be done to improve them.

Foreword

Traven argues that universal moral beliefs and emotions shaped the evolution of international laws that protect civilians in war.
