Od dum-dum metka do napalma: borba protiv nehumanog oružja
Book by Malvern Lumsden. scientific associate of the Stockholm Institute for Peace Research, is a handbook for those who want to familiarize themselves with modern weapons from the aspect of their worst features - extreme inhumanity.
Although the text requires careful reading, because the author presents those features of certain types of weapons that significantly determine their inhuman effects, it is intended primarily for laymen and is understandable to anyone who wants to understand it. Throughout the text, efforts by the international community to limit the use of inhumane weapons in the 1970s are contrasted with descriptions of the effects of such weapons on victims.
Inhumane weapons include all those means used to incapacitate the opponent that cause unnecessary pain, mutilation and death. The review of these weapons begins with a description of dum-dum bullets, which cause large explosive-type wounds and whose use in conflicts between countries is prohibited, and continues with a description of many other inhumane weapons, which also cause unnecessarily severe and fatal wounds, and their use is still permitted.
