Opis

Despite the harsh treatment that can befall collaborators in armed conflict, and despite collaboration often not being voluntary, international law leaves unanswered the ethical questions posed by those who join with the enemy. Shane Darcy explores the issue, calling for a much needed assessment of the protections granted to collaborators in war.

Recenzje

This authoritative work is amply evidentiary of the author's erudite scholarship. Readers are struck by Darcy's comprehensive and thorough examinations of primary sources, which include not only the case-law of international and national tribunals and human rights treaty-based bodies, but also historical documents of diplomatic conferences dating back to the second half of the nineteenth century. ... Future scholarships of international law and international relations will owe hugely to Darcy for his deft ability to weave such a coherent web of enriched legal discourses. This book will no doubt become one of the classics in the twenty-first century.
