What does this centrality suggest for juridical thought? The article explores the status of the camp-as "paradigm" and as "nomos" of late modernity-within the work of the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben, the reasons this status is refused by his legal critics, and the implications of both for late modern legal theory.

The article suggests that a cross-disciplinary critique of genocidal violence not only describes the event and the victim, but also produces knowledge of them as discursive "objects." The key issue is the "surveillance" role of the outside observer, also produced as such in discursive relation to the object. At stake in this view of genocide law as epistemology is the capacity to reimagine law in order to help us make hard choices about how, whether, and when to intervene in events that may be characterized as genocide.

It examines the term within the context of its historical genesis, and reviews its evolving definition. Drawing upon insights from non-legal disciplines, the Article argues that rhetorically, "lawfare" indicates alternative and critical ways to think of law in relation to war.
