This volume explores the role of an influential vocabulary of war, sanitised language, the language that seeks to clean up the appearance of events through euphemism, abstract words and opaque phrases. Critical discourse analysis of the language of recent military campaigns shows that the public authorities do not explain events as clearly as they might. Despite social, political and strategic incentives to use sanitised language, its use appears to undermine the democratic process and reduce public authorities? freedoms, possibly emboldening adversaries and turning away potential partners. 410 0$aHuman Rights and Humanitarian Law E-Books Online, Collection 2024. 410 0$aInternational Studies on Military Ethics ;$v14 606 $aHuman Rights and Humanitarian Law 606 $aHuman rights 607 $aGreat Britain$xMilitary policy 615 0$aHuman Rights and Humanitarian Law. 615 0$aHuman rights. 676 $a341 700 $aFyjis-Walker$b Matthew$01764603 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 912 $a9910878797403321 996 $aWho Benefits from the Sanitized Language of Violence$94205524 997 $aUNINA
