Volume 24 of the Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) is a comprehensive exploration of the universalist claims of IHL from diverse perspectives and across various areas of the field. While academic debates surrounding "universalism versus particularism" have dominated critical scholarship in international law over the past two decades, they have received relatively limited attention in the realm of IHL. This volume aims to address this gap by focusing on how different interpretive communities approach questions of IHL from different angles.

To facilitate this exploration, authors were invited to employ the concept of culture to critically examine and deconstruct the production, interpretation, and application of IHL. Additionally, those who sought to challenge the notion that IHL requires critical deconstruction were encouraged to present their arguments.

The Volume comprises four articles specifically dedicated to the cultures of IHL, offering in-depth insights into the diverse ways in which IHL is understood and applied in different contexts. Furthermore, it features a book symposium on Samuel Moyn's Humane: How The United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War (2021), providing a platform for scholarly discussions on a timely and thought-provoking book.

As customary, the Yearbook concludes with a Year in Review section, summarizing the significant developments and advancements in the field of IHL during the preceding year.

The Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law remains a vital resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in the study and application of international humanitarian law. By presenting a wide range of perspectives and engaging in critical dialogue, it contributes to the advancement of knowledge and understanding of this crucial branch of international law.
