The monitoring and documenting of human rights abuses is a
relatively recent area of work; the nature and implications of
human rights law are in flux; and there is greater consideration
for human-rights dimensions in armed conflicts. The human rights
agencies are consequently repositioning themselves, redefining
their roles and adapting their practices. This study provides an
overview of the sorts of abuses - political killings, torture,
excessive use of force, death in custody, sexual violence -
occurring in armed conflicts and makes suggstions about how to
investigate and verify information for each violation. It includes
extracts from international and regional human rights law and
international humanitarian law, intended as a working basis for
organisations investigating, documenting and acting upon abuses.
