      abstract = {How relevant is the concept of war today? This book  examines how notions about war continue to influence how we  conceive rights and obligations in national and  international law. It also considers the role international  law plays in limiting what is forbidden and legitimated in  times of war or armed conflict. The book highlights how,  even though war has been outlawed and should be finished as  an institution, states nevertheless continue to claim that  they can wage necessary wars of self-defence, engage in  lawful killings in war, imprison law-of-war detainees, and  attack objects which are said to be part of a  war-sustaining economy. The book includes an overall  account of the contemporary laws of war and delves into  whether states should be able to continue to claim  so-called 'belligerent rights' over their enemies and those  accused of breaching expectations of neutrality. A central  claim in the book is as follows: while there is general  agreement that war has been abolished as a legal  institution for settling disputes, the time has come to  admit that the belligerent rights that once accompanied  states at war are no longer available. The conclusion is  that claiming to be in a war or an armed conflict does not  grant anyone a licence to kill people, destroy things, and  acquire other people's property or territory.},
