The instinctual desire to support those in need, irrespective of
geographic, cultural or religious links, is both facilitated and
overwhelmed by the extent of information now available about the
multiple humanitarian crises which occur on a daily basis around
the world. Behind the images of devastating floods and earthquakes,
or massive forced displacements resulting from armed conflicts, is
the all too real suffering faced by individuals and families. From
the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami to the on-going conflict in Syria,
recent years have seen an increasing debate regarding the
international legal mechanisms to protect persons in such
humanitarian crises. The International Legal Protection of Persons
in Humanitarian Crises argues that an acquis humanitaire is
identifiable through the interconnected web of existing and
emerging international, regional and national laws, policies and
practices for the protection of persons caught up in humanitarian
crises. Indeed, the humanitarian imperative to alleviate suffering
wherever it may be found permeates various branches of
international law, and is reflected in the extensive humanitarian
activities undertaken by States and other actors in times of armed
conflict, population displacement and disaster. Dug Cubie argues
that by clarifying the conceptual framework and normative content
of the acquis humanitaire, gaps and lacunae can be identified and
the overall protection of persons strengthened.
