Abstract
Savaş hukuku, uluslararası hukukun kodifiye edilen ilk kısmıdır. Savaş hukuku Ondokuzuncu Yüzyılın ortalarına kadar varlığını bugünkünden farklı olarak; gelenek, genel ilkeler, askeri kılavuzlar ve ulusal kanunlar, hatta dini öğretiler olarak sürdürdü. Düşmanca hareketleri düzenleyen hukuk kurallarının birçok erken kültürde varlığı bilinse de, savaş hukuku teorilerinin “Avrupa Merkezci” olduğu kabul edilir. Modern Avrupa devlet sisteminin oluşturulmasının bir sonucu olarak savaş hukuku, uluslararası hukukun geliştirilen ilk dalıydı. Birçok faktör Ondokuzuncu Yüzyılın ikinci yarısında yeni söylemlere ve gelişmelere sebep oldu. Ancak bu makale, genel anlayışın aksine, uluslararası hukukun bu dalının bazı büyük iç savaşlardan da etkilendiğini savunuyor. Makalede iç savaş konusu, silahlı iç çatışmaya ilişkin kural ve düzenlemeler ile savaş hukukunun oluşmasına katkısı bulunan Amerikan iç savaşı referans alınarak kronolojik olarak tartışılacaktır

Abstract
The laws of war were the first part of international law to be codified. Until the mid-nineteenth century the laws of war had existed in different form as today namely; in custom, in broad principles, in military manuals and the national laws as well as religious teachings. Although the laws regulating the conduct of hostilities were recognised in many early cultures, the theories of the laws of war are essentially considered “Eurocentric.” As a result of the creation of modern European state system in the seventeenth century the laws of war were the first branch of international law to be developed in any depth. Multiplicity of factors led to their re-statement and development in the second half of the nineteenth century. However, this article argues that contrary to the popular belief the development of this branch of international law was also influenced by some major civil wars too. The topic of civil war will be dealt with in chronological order with references made to some of the most important conflicts such as the American Civil War which have contributed to development of rules and regulations governing internal armed conflict and as a consequence to the laws of war
