Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, published just prior to World War I, explores the then-novel concept of aerial warfare. The author, an expert in international law, surveys the Hague Conventions and Declarations of 1899 and 1907, finding them inadequate in addressing the new dimension of air combat. The book delves into important ethical and legal questions raised by aircraft in war, such as distinguishing between civilian and military aircraft, the treatment of captured aircrew, and the liability of neutral states for aircraft overflights or landings. With remarkable foresight, the author even considers the possibility of aerial bombardments of civilian targets and the need for international regulation. This book remains a valuable historical document, offering insights into the legal and ethical challenges posed by a new technology that would soon revolutionize warfare.
