THE LIEBER CODE – A CENTURY AND A HALF AFTER A GREAT CODIFICATION

Summary/Abstract: In times of Civil War in the United States of America, the rules of warfare had been codified for the first time in a comprehensive, global manner within the document under the name of General Orders No. 100. (War Department, Adjutant General’s Office, Washington, April 24, 1863) – Instructions for the Government of Armies of the United States in the Field, more widely known as Lieber Code, dubbed by its’ creator’s surname. For a century and a half this document represents an inevitable literature for the numerous researchers who study legal rules applicable at armed conflicts and situations that are direct consequences of armed conflicts. Furthermore, a significant influence of Lieber Code on latter codifications is quite noticeable and certain notions, defined in Lieber Code, has not been defined better, more completely or clearly even to present day. Although it was primarily dedicated to codifying warfare rules, this code comprises, for the time when it was written, a significant body of humanitarian and legal rules, naturally adjusted to the understanding of humanity in the second half of the nineteenth century.
