The Civil War and the Law of War

ASIL’s Lieber Society on the Law of Armed Conflict and the American Red Cross sponsored a historical panel discussion on the application of the law of war in the American Civil War, in remembrance of the 150th anniversary of that conflict. Military historians and law of war experts Gary Solis, Isabelle Daoust, and Richard Jackson will presented historical vignettes, describing the application of the law of war (often referred to as international humanitarian law) to the Civil War.
