LAW 494 The Ethics and Law of War Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Regulatory & Policy ] International Law: Public International Law Why it is relevant for ... [ Regulatory & Policy ] as a Related Elective for those interested in International Conflict : Students of international law will be interested in the analysis of ethics and the rules of war provided by this course. It is useful to know something about current topics, such as the rules for noncombatants during a conflict, as well as the evolution of the theory of a "just war," particularly if your focus is public international law. General course Description: (Same as POLISCI 212S) What ethical norms and laws influence decisions to go to war, the conduct of military operations in war, and post-war settlements and institutions? What are the rules that protect other civilians and noncombatants in armed conflict? How do these rules apply in non-traditional, asymmetric conflicts between states and terrorist and other non-state groups? How do we determine in which kinds of conflicts to apply the moral and legal framework that governs war? We will study the evolution of just war theory in law and in practice. Course Style: A Substantive course teaches the law, theory, and policy in a particular area of law Course Frequency: Varied, check w/ registrar |
