This book provides a clear and concise explanation of the central
principles of international humanitarian law (or the law of armed
conflict) while situating them in a broader philosophical, ethical
and legal context. The authors consider a range of wider issues
relevant to international humanitarian law, including its ethical
foundations, relationship to other bodies of international law and
contemporary modes of enforcement. This helps to develop a richer
context for understanding the law of war and a sound basis for
examining the changing nature of contemporary armed conflict. The
book also discusses important recent decisions by international
courts and tribunals, tracks the historical development of
humanitarian principles in warfare and considers the legal position
of states, individuals and non-state groups. Principles of
International Humanitarian Law is an important resource for
students of international humanitarian law and International law
academics, as well as international humanitarian law practitioners.
