"While there is agreement on the need for fundamental rules governing the conduct of war, there is profound disagreement over who has authority to declare, interpret and enforce those rules, as well as who--and what developments in the so-called art of war--will shape them now and into the future. In short, who 'owns' the law of war?" (NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE) The author examines the history of the laws governing conduct during war and how the U.S.-led war with Iraq demands a reexamination of these international rules.
