Beskrivning
The international criminality of waging illegal war, alongside only a few of the gravest human wrongs, is rooted not in its violation of sovereignty, but in the large-scale killing war entails. Yet when soldiers refuse to kill in illegal wars, nothing shields them from criminal sanction for that refusal. This seeming paradox in law demands explanation. Just as soldiers have no right not to kill in criminal wars, the death and suffering inflicted on them when they fight against aggression has been excluded repeatedly from the calculation of post-war reparations, whether monetary or symbolic. This, too, is jarring in an era of international law infused with human rights principles. Tom Dannenbaum explores these ambiguities and paradoxes, and argues for institutional reforms through which the law would better respect the rights and responsibilities of soldiers.

Recensioner i media

'This book is a major contribution to the field, and cannot be overlooked by anyone with either a practical or theoretical interest in the crime of aggression. … The Crime of Aggression, Humanity and the Soldier excels in the challenging task of transposing ethical concepts into detailed suggestions for legal reform. By constantly considering the institutional and practical implications of its proposals, the book remains grounded and does not veer off to utopianism. Moreover, it is well structured, expertly written, and never digresses from its main argument. This book will surely be central in shaping the debate on the crime of aggression in the years to come.' Eliav Lieblich, American Journal of International Law
