Critics Review
Ka Lok Yip’s monograph is an important contribution to the scholarly literature on international law, human rights, global studies, and social theory. I hope this book inspires more scholars to analyze other conceptions of justice and moral responsibility in the context of war. * Salvador Santino F. Reglime, Jr, Associate Professor of International Relations Institute for History, Leiden University, the Netherlands, International Studies Review *
