Winning War Through Law in Afghanistan? Interview with Adam Baczko
Résumé
Adam Baczko is the author of a book entitled La guerre par le droit. Les tribunaux Taliban en Afghanistan ( War by Law. Taliban Courts in Afghanistan) published on 2 September by CNRS Editions within the series called “Logiques du désordre” he coedits with Adèle Blazquez, Martin Lamotte and Gilles Dorronsoro. Published three weeks after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan, this sadly very timely comparative study of the parallel legal system put in place by the Taliban for decades is likely to help us better understand more broadly the role of Law in war. Adam Baczko answers our questions on this issue and on his long-term research. Interview by Miriam Périer, CERI.
