An innovative examination of how the language of the law of armed conflict shapes our understanding of war and law.

This volume presents a novel insight into the complex intersections between the law of armed conflict and the language of armed conflict. The work demonstrates the strengths and fissures in the law, showing how the choice to employ certain terms can have lasting ramifications for those most vulnerable to the impacts of warfare – civilians, women, children, and the displaced.

Russell Buchan is Professor of International Law at the University of Reading. Emily Crawford is Professor at The University of Sydney Law School and Director of the Sydney Centre for International Law. Rain Liivoja is Professor of International Law and Deputy Dean (Research) at the University of Queensland.
