Speaking Law to "War"

Undergraduate / Graduate

What are the key legal principles that govern the conduct of war and protect human rights? The concept of Speaking Law to War addresses the interface and perhaps even more, struggle, disguise and tension between law and power. This course will examine doctrines on the rightfulness of waging war, on who can declare war, and on the manner in which it is to be waged as these relate to contemporary norms and debates within international law.
