Alike in beginning a war and in carrying it on and in ending it, law has a most important position..." -Balthazar Ayala, De Jure Et Officiis Bellicis Et Disciplina Militari Libri III (1582) De Jure Et Officiis Bellicis Et Disciplina Militari Libri III, Volume II (1912) by Balthazar Ayala originally published in 1582 outlines basic doctrine for conducting war, most specifically that military forces cannot target civilians.
