Description

About the Book

"Innocent Civilians" traces the complex evolution of the principle of civilian immunity in war from its medieval religious origins to its modern legal status.

Book Synopsis

Why is it that soldiers may be killed in war but civilians may not be killed? By tracing the evolution of the principle of non-combatant immunity in Western thought from its medieval religious origins to its modern legal status, Colm McKeogh attempts to answer this question. In doing so he highlights the unsuccessful attempts to reconcile warfare with our civilization's most fundamental principles of justice.
