Normative Approach to War : peace, war, and justice in Hugo Grotius by Humanitarian Law
The moral/philosophical/religious/humane need to control war & its aftermath has been recognized and considered at least at a theoretical level for centuries.
Classic terminology is to consider the problem in three parts "ad bellum" (in what circumstances can war be justified?), "in bello" (what rules to apply during combat) and "post bellum" (what can be done to alleviate the aftermath)
The international judicalization of the excesses of war (war crimes trials) only became significant feature of international law in the 20th century.
