The law of armed conflict draws our attention to discrete acts and violations in ways that obscure larger structures of violence. This leads us to focus on a specific tree and miss the fact that the entire forest is on fire. ICYMI our American Society of International Law (ASIL) webinar sponsored by the ASIL Lieber Society exploring the issue of "Legal Cynicism in Contemporary Armed Conflicts" is now live and available here: https://lnkd.in/em7_aspP Some of my remarks on Legal Cynicism & War 👇🏿
