摘要:
President Barack Obama embraced what many in the international law community long regarded as off-limits: targeting war-sustaining capabilities, like economic infrastructure used to generate revenue for an enemy's armed forces. Scholarly opinion generally maintains that such objects are not legitimate military targets, but the academic literature is highly deficient. Scholars have not grappled with the strongest and clearest evidence supporting the U.S. view. Indeed, intellectual resources may be better spent not on the question whether such objects are legitimate military targets, but on second-order questions including how to apply proportionality analysis and identify limiting principles to guard against slippery slopes.
