520			_aThe 'original sin' of the laws of war - its exclusion of non-Europeans from its protection - shapes discussions around criminal liability for conduct during colonial expansion. This monograph disproves this position however, utilising State practice across various colonial frontiers that fell to Pax Britannica. In doing so, the groundbreaking research highlights eight clear customary colonial wars that applied to 'the other' across the Empire on Which the Sun Never Set.
