Summary
This chapter provides a brief historical overview of the concept of pillage and shows how the prohibition of pillaging developed into an absolute prohibition in international humanitarian law, both in international and non-international armed conflict. The chapter discusses a possible definition of pillage and its material elements, which have developed through decisions of international tribunals since the Second World War.
