Dr. Rotem Giladi’s project examines the captivity of the empire’s non-European soldiers and the burial of those who lost their lives in its service, providing new insights into the lived experience of colonial soldiers; a more nuanced understanding of the various ways their captivity, death, and burial affected the emergence, codification, content, and implementation of legal norms on the treatment of prisoners of war and the war dead; and revealing the operation of notions on “race” in modern international law.
