Human Rights and War Through Civilian Eyes reimagines the ethics of war from the standpoint of its collateral victims, focusing on the effects of war on individuals: on those who are terrorized, or killed, or whose lives are violently disrupted. Upholding a human rights analysis of war, Thomas W. Smith conveys vividly the depth of human loss and the narrowing of everyday life brought about by armed conflict. Through riveting case studies of the Iraq War and the recent Gaza conflicts, Smith shows how even combatants who profess to follow the laws of war often engage in appalling violence and brutality, cutting short civilian lives, ruining economies, rending social fabrics, and collapsing public infrastructure. A focus on the human dimension of warfare makes clear the limits of international humanitarian law, and underscores how human rights perspectives increase its efficacy"--Book jacket. 650 0 $a War $x Protection of civilians. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85145123 650 0 $a Combatants and noncombatants (International law) $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85028799 650 0 $a Humanitarian law. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99002222 650 0 $a Civilian war casualties $z Gaza Strip. 650 0 $a Civilian war casualties $z Iraq. 650 0 $a Civil war $x Protection of civilians $z Gaza Strip. 650 0 $a Civil war $x Protection of civilians $z Iraq. 650 0 $a Human rights $z Gaza Strip. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008122066 650 0 $a Human rights $z Iraq. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008122080 650 0 $a Military ethics $z Iraq. 650 0 $a Military ethics $z Gaza Strip. 830 0 $a Pennsylvania studies in human rights. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n90627600 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021015128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1AAC05E8E55411E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
