Excerpt from The Rules of War on Land
The idea of codifying the laws of war in their entirety originated with the late Dr. Francis Lieber, professor of political science and international law at Columbia University, New York. He was also the author of the code approved by President Lincoln, after having been examined with great care by General Halleck, himself a high authority upon the laws and usages of war, which was formulated in 1863 as General Orders, No. 100, for the government of the armies of the United States in the field. This order, as was said by M. De Martens at The Hague, has remained the basis of all subsequent efforts in the direction of the humanization of war.
The annexe to The Hague convention, which embodies the Rules of war on Land is derived, in great part, from the codification of the Rules of War on Land which was prepared by the Institute of Inter national Law, and which was recommended for adoption by that body at its annual session at Oxford 011 September 9, 1890.
