Animals are the unknown victims of armed conflicts. Wildlife
populations usually decline during warfare, with disastrous
repercussions on the food chain, on fragile ecosystems and
precarious habitats. Belligerents take advantage of the chaos of
war for poaching and trafficking of animal products. Livestock,
companion, and zoo animals, highly dependent on human care, are
direct victims of hostilities. The book is the first legal analysis
of these issues. It maps the framework of international
humanitarian law, examining which and how the concepts, principles,
and rationales can be applied and adapted for a better protection
of animals. The contributions inter alia discuss precautions for
animal civilians, problems of animal combatants and prisoners, a
specific status for veterinarian personnel, the recognition of
biodiversity hotspots as specially protected zones, and the
potential of enforcement mechanisms. The concluding chapter draws
together novel interpretations and reform proposals.
