“…Numerous international conventions have developed to regulate the conduct of armed actors during war (Howard, Andreopoulos, and Shulman 1994). IHL, or the laws of war, seeks to place certain limits on violence during armed conflicts.…”

“…For instance, while the content of the conventions appears to matter, it is unclear whether individuals are thinking specifically about the international legal nature of those rules. Constraints on the resort to wartime violence reflect contemporary IHL, but they may also be rooted in other sources, such as domestic law, or religious and other values (Howard, Andreopoulos, and Shulman 1994). Persons exposed to IHL may become aware of the accompanying principles, but they may in fact be motivated by unrelated belief systems.…”

What are the implications of international law for attitudes toward wartime violence? Existing research offers contrasting views on the ability of international legal principles to shape individual preferences, especially in difficult situations involving armed conflict. Employing cross-national survey evidence from several conflict and post-conflict countries, this article contributes to this debate by evaluating the relationship between individuals’ knowledge of the laws of war and attitudes toward wartime conduct. Findings show that exposure to international law is associated with a significant reduction in support for wartime abuses, though the results are stronger for prisoner treatment than for targeting civilians. Analysis further reveals that legal principles generate different expectations of conduct than alternative value systems that are rooted in strong moral foundations regarding the impermissibility of wartime abuses. The findings are relevant for understanding the relationship between international law and domestic actors, and how legal principles relate to the resort to violence.

The modern commercial law grew out of the custom and usages of the merchants, the Law Merchant. Some of these customs were written down, and became a code of international commercial customs. Although the substantive law and procedures of the common law world broadly re ected the international character of trade, it was also in uenced by the insular tendencies of the law. This was particularly prevalent during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The advent of modern electronic trade conducted through cyberspace has however meant that the law has once again been required to adopt a more international perspective through the adoption of international treaties and conventions.
