Summary

Chapter 6 provides a historical introduction to the origins of rules protecting people and property in war, in particular resulting from the development of the nineteenth-century laws of war into modern International Humanitarian Law (IHL). The chapter sets out the norms protecting property from unlawful appropriation in time of war (such as the crime of pillage) as well as the norms protecting labour against exploitation (including the crimes of enslavement and forced labour).
