International humanitarian law and Game of Thrones

Abstract

The book creates a bold contrast between reality and fiction by interweaving fascinating worlds such as
cinema, literature, and law. Drawing from the popular saga by George R. R. Martin and its television
adaptation, the work offers a profound analysis of human rights and international humanitarian law, making
these complex topics accessible to the general public.
With a clear educational purpose, yet one that also deconstructs reality, the text explores legal concepts from
international law within the fantasy framework of the series. It analyzes its characters and the human
condition they represent, from their most laudable deeds to their most vile interests. This line of legal
literature is not limited to the legal component but also incorporates perspectives from psychology and poses
fundamental questions about the ethics that regulate warfare.
The goal is to captivate the reader through the allure of "cinema and letters," only to then ground them in a
more pragmatic analysis, inviting them to question whether international norms are upheld in our own era.
Therefore, its audience is not limited to legal scholars but extends to followers of literature and fans of the
saga. It is an ambitious invitation that maintains the enchanting dialogue between fiction and reality.
