'Professor Sassoli has combined his first hand experience of the
challenges facing the application of international humanitarian law
with his scholarly understanding of international law. He sets out
the details necessary for a complete understanding of humanitarian
law but also highlights the contemporary controversies. One of the
many qualities of this book is that the author always offers us his
considered view on what are the best solutions to the dilemmas he
highlights. This book is destined to become an authoritative point
of reference for generations to come.' - Andrew Clapham, Graduate
Institute of International and Development Studies, Switzerland
International humanitarian law (IHL) protects persons and property
affected by armed conflicts. Focusing on the controversies that
impact IHL in practice, this much-anticipated book from leading
expert Marco Sassoli discusses when IHL applies, its substantive
rules, how to ensure its respect and whether the traditional
distinction between international and non-international armed
conflicts remains relevant. Sassoli draws on a depth of practical
experience to provide invaluable insight and comprehensive guidance
on the rules protecting certain categories of persons (for example,
civilians, wounded, etc.) during conflict and the rules governing
different types of conduct (or example, occupation, naval warfare,
etc.). The book examines how these rules interact with other
branches of international law, such as human rights and
international criminal law, and how the rules are applied to
non-State armed groups. Cross-cutting issues, including terrorism,
autonomous weapons, cyber warfare, gender and cultural heritage,
are also addressed, providing readers with a well-rounded view of
IHL and associated concerns. Structured in a clear and accessible
way, this book will be the turn-to resource for scholars, lawyers,
civil servants and other actors directly involved in the sphere of
IHL. It will also be the essential text for forthcoming generations
of students, giving them a solid understanding of both the rules
relating to IHL and how they are implemented in practice.
