The Laws of Yesterdayâs Wars 5
Central and South Asian Perspectives
Series: - International Humanitarian Law Series, Volume: 79
Editor:
How international is international humanitarian law? The Laws of Yesterday's Wars 5: Central and South Asian Perspectives, together with its companion volumes, attempts to answer that question. It offers a culture-by-culture account of various unique restrictions placed on warfare over time. Containing essays by a range of laws of war academics and practitioners, it approaches the laws of yesterdayâs wars from a wide cross-section of history and culture, seeking to find any common ground and to demonstrate a history of international law outside the usual confines of its âdevelopmentâ by Europeans and its later âcontributions.â
This volume includes studies on Balinese, Central Asian and Buddist rules of war.
