The Crimes of War Project is a collaboration of journalists, lawyers and scholars dedicated to raising public awareness of the laws of war and their application to situations of conflict. Our goal is to promote understanding of international humanitarian law among journalists, policymakers, and the general public, in the belief that a wider knowledge of the legal framework governing armed conflict will lead to greater pressure to prevent breaches of the law, and to punish those who commit them.

The New York Times : a beautiful night-time photograph of Angkor Wat

during some fancy-pants fund-raiser. We spent three days in Siem Reap and saw only about half a dozen of the temples, waiting until the last day to visit Angok Wat. It's a terrible thing to say, but I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of temples in my life and as interested as a was to visit the Khmer temples I was a bit jaded in a "seem one temple, seem 'em all" sort of way. I'm not sure I could have been any more wrong than I was. If you ever get a chance to visit Angkor Wat, just go. No questions, go. Go, now. It's almost worth for all the dragon flies in the first inner courtyard, alone.
