Law and Morality at War
Book •
Adil Haque's Law and Morality at War argues that understanding and applying the law of armed conflict requires engagement with moral and legal philosophy.
The book defends the moral legitimacy of key IHL norms, addresses contested principles like civilian immunity and proportionality, and proposes ways to fill moral gaps in the law.
Haque contends that IHL is primarily prohibitive, guiding combatants on what they must not do, and that moral reasoning strengthens compliance and interpretation.
The book combines doctrinal analysis with normative argument, aiming to make IHL more defensible and practicable for armed forces and policymakers.
It has been influential among scholars interested in the ethical foundations of wartime legal regimes.
