Do States, through their military forces, have legal obligations
under human rights treaties towards the local civilian population
during UN-mandated peace operations? It is frequently claimed that
it is unrealistic to require compliance with human rights treaties
in peace operations and this has led to an unwillingness to hold
States accountable for human rights violations. In this book,
Kjetil Larsen criticises this position by addressing the arguments
against the applicability of human rights treaties and
demonstrating that compliance with the treaties is unrealistic only
if one takes an 'all or nothing' approach to them. He outlines a
coherent and more flexible approach which distinguishes clearly
between positive and negative obligations and makes treaty
compliance more realistic. His proposals for the application of
human rights treaties would also strengthen the legal framework for
human rights protection in peace operations without posing any
unrealistic obligations on the military forces.
