International humanitarian law is the law that governs the conduct
of participants during armed conflict. This branch of law aims to
regulate the means and methods of warfare as well as to provide
protections to those who do not, or who no longer, take part in the
hostilities. It is one of the oldest branches of international law
and one of enduring relevance today. The Oxford Guide to
International Humanitarian Law provides a practical yet
sophisticated overview of this important area of law. Written by a
stellar line up of contributors, drawn from those who not only have
extensive practical experience but who are also regarded as leading
scholars of the subject, the text offers a comprehensive and
authoritative exposition of the field. The Guide provides
professionals and advanced students with information and analysis
of sufficient depth to enable them to perform their tasks with
understanding and confidence. Each chapter illuminates how the law
applies in practice, but does not shy away from the important
conceptual issues that underpin how the law has developed. It will
serve as a first port of call and a regular reference work for
those interested in international humanitarian law.
