      ab: The article discusses the concept of enemies of the human race during the French Revolution and its importance for the Revolutionary Wars and for the Terror. According to the author, the enemy of human race or hostis humani generis is concerned on the individual who violates the laws of nature and could be executed without legal proceedings. It also discusses the description of Terror as having a military logic which is doubly misguided by two factors including the codification of the laws of war in prerevolutionary Europe and the authorization of laws by a legal exception in natural-right theory.
