Chivalry is not dead. Its echoes can be found in military manuals across the globe--from Australia, Chile, Germany, and India to Israel, Japan, South Africa, Ukraine, the United States, and the United Kingdom. But why is this the case? Is training in the Law of Armed Conflict not enough?
Beyond baseline legal notions, additional normative standards of an ethical nature are essential to protect both civilians from unjustified harm and combatants themselves from moral injury. These additional standards are embedded in the concepts of military honour and human dignity. Together, they rejuvenate the old code of chivalry in the era of professionalised armed forces.
For the first time, this book offers a thorough analysis and synthesis of these concepts.
