Abstract:
This chapter treats the humanizing of the society of states through humanizing the laws of war. It considers the role of non-governmental agents in humanizing war and the role of lawyers as adjuncts of the state in carrying out that role. It points to the role of ‘clubs’ of lawyers in both promoting humanization and drafting its articles. It points to the extension of the idea of human rights in war to the idea of human rights as underpinning international relations in general.
