(1968-1977).This text analyzes the origins and development of the international humanitarian treaty rules that now exist to regulate internal armed conflict. Until well into the twentieth century, states allowed atrocious violence as an acceptable product of internal conflict. Why have states created international laws to control internal armed conflict? Why did states compromise their national security by accepting these international humanitarian constraints? Why did they create these rules at improbable moments, as European empires cracked, freedom fighters emerged, and fears of communist rebellion spread? The book explores the global politics and diplomatic dynamics that led to the creation of such laws in 1949 and in the 1970s.Cornell scholarship online.Humanitarian lawHistoryCivil warHumanitarian lawSocial aspectsSocial pressurePolitical aspectsNew histories of international law, the global south and international law, status politics, humanitarian law, internal conflict,.Humanitarian lawHistory.Civil war.Humanitarian lawSocial aspects.Social pressurePolitical aspects.341.67Mantilla Giovanni1981-1687330StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910825598303321Lawmaking under pressure4060707UNINA
