Everyone here will realise that I have to treat a vast subject in a short period of time, and those who are already familiar with it will be aware that I shall have to make a number of assertions, each of which really deserves separate treatment in its own right. I shall arrange the lecture as follows. I shall begin by clarifying the basic assumptions on which I intend to proceed. Next, I shall look at the state of the laws of aerial warfare at the end of the Second World War. Finally, I shall make a few observations on the present state of the law. As time is limited I shall devote more attention to the principles according to which, in my view, this subject should be broached than to detailed rules.
