Short description/annotation:
In recent years, gross violations of international law during armed conflicts have underlined an urgent need for instigating protective measures and for measures designed to prevent future violations.
This carefully researched and influential book will be of great use to practising lawyers and academics with an interest in international humanitarian law and to legal staff and military personnel instructing armed forces around the world.
Long description:
This book offers the most authoritative commentary and analysis of international humanitarian law applicable in armed conflict available. It is based upon the Joint Service Regulation for the German Ministry of Defence, augmented with extensive international references, and accompanied by commentary by a team of distinguished and internationally renowned experts.
Whilst the past decades have seen consistent development of international law applicable in armed conflict, culminating in a series of International Covenants and Protocols, world events in recent years have made reassessment of the law both a timely and topical concern.
This Handbook available for the first time in paperback will serve as an indispensable reference source for practising lawyers and academics working in the field of international humanitarian law and for military personnel worldwide.
