Description: |
The purpose
of this manual is to provide authoritative guidance to military
personnel on the customary and treaty law applicable to the
conduct of warfare on land and to relationships between belligerents
and neutral States. Although certain of the legal principles
set forth herein have application to warfare at sea and in the
air as well as to hostilities on land, this manual otherwise
concerns itself with the rules peculiar to naval and aerial
warfare only to the extent that such rules have some direct
bearing on the activities of land forces. |
