Focusing on the concept of humanness, the author argues that war crimes should be viewed as violations against humanity rather than mere breaches of justice. He emphasizes the collective responsibility of states in upholding the rules of war, which are essential for soldiers to maintain honor. By linking the principle of humanness to international humanitarian law, the book explores traditional principles like discrimination, necessity, and proportionality. It also draws on historical Just War traditions and analyzes cases from the International Tribunal for Yugoslavia and the Red Cross archives.
