It is now widely accepted that international human rights law
applies in situations of armed conflict alongside international
humanitarian law, but the contours and consequences of this
development remain unclear. This book revisits, organizes and
contextualizes the debate on human rights in armed conflict and
explores the legal challenges, operational consequences and policy
implications of resorting to human rights in situations of inter-
and intra-state violence. It presents the benefits and the
drawbacks of using international human rights law alongside
humanitarian law and discusses how the idea, law and policy of
human rights influence the development of the law of armed
conflict. Based on legal theory, policy analysis, state practice
and the work of human rights bodies, it suggests a human
rights-oriented reading of the law of armed conflict as feasible
and necessary in response to the changing character of war.
