ABSTRACTDaniel Thurer, Professor at the University of Zurich, dedicates his course to international humanitarian law or "law of armed conflict" or "law of war". He studies the ways by which international law tries to "humanize" organized violence. But Daniel Thurer`s ambitions are not limited to the battlefield. In his study, he explores the complexity of the ways and means that the law uses to regulate the way of waging war, in theory and in practice. Daniel Thurer studies treaties and other sources of international law and also focuses, beyond the letter of the texts, on the influence of culture, on the formulation of the norms of the law of war, on the institutions which develop these norms and work toward their universal acceptance, on the networks of humanitarian actors in this field, and on legal procedures integrating the law of war and its various institutions.
Daniel Thürer, professeur à l'Université de Zurich, consacre son cours au droit international humanitaire ou « droit des conflits armés » ou « droit de la guerre ». Il y étudie les moyens avec lesquels le droit international tente de contenir d' « humaniser » la violence organisée. Mais les ambitions de Daniel Thürier ne se limitent pas au champ de bataille. Dans son étude, il explore la complexité des voies et moyens que le droit utilise pour réguler la manière de faire la guerre, en théorie et en pratique. Daniel Thürier étudie les traités et les autres sources du droit international, mais s'intéresse également, au-delà de la lettre des textes, à l'influence de la culture dans l'élaboration des normes du droit de la guerre, aux institutions qui développent ces normes et œuvrent à leur acceptation universelle, aux réseaux des acteurs humanitaires dans ce domaine, et aux procédures juridiques intégrant le droit de la guerre et ses diverses institutions.
