This book boldly confronts the prevailing academic and legal orthodoxy which dismisses the application of tort law in times of war, and offers a framework that empowers individuals to vindicate their rights and acts as a bulwark against abuse of public power.\u003cbr\u003eBy reviewing and analyzing the applicability of tort law to peacekeeping, urban warfare, counter-terrorism activities, and long-range warfare in Australia, Canada, England, Israel, and the United States, the book offers real world insights on how tort liability can serve as a mechanism for reparations and accountability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTort Liability in Warfare\u003c\/em\u003e is a clarion call for a shift in legal paradigms, urging a path towards effective remedies for civilians caught in the crossfire of nations at war. It is an essential read for legal scholars, practitioners, and anyone invested in the pursuit of justice in the complex landscape of armed conflict. \u003cbr\u003eThis is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaim Abraham, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor, UCL Faculty of Laws\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaim Abraham is an Assistant Professor in UCL Faculty of Laws, who specializes in the moral and legal liability of states.
