The Crime of Aggression, Humanity, and the Soldier by Tom Dannenbaum (English) P

Description: The Crime of Aggression, Humanity, and the Soldier by Tom Dannenbaum The true criminality of aggressive war is not its harm to a state. Rather, it is the fact that it entails the killing of soldiers and collateral civilians. In light of that finding, Dannenbaum exposes the moral paradoxes in the legal treatment of soldiers in war and its aftermath. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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. Author Biography Tom Dannenbaum is Assistant Professor of International Law at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, Massachusetts.

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… a fascinating argument for using this new law to buttress conscientious objection by military personnel in countries engaged in - or about to be engaged in - a war of aggression. Tanisha M. Fazal, Ethics and International AffairsThe strength of this work lies in the remarkable quality of the research. Many sources support the argument.
