This book explores how the International Committee of the Red Cross
(ICRC), a leading humanitarian actor, addresses the problem of
weapons. A triangulation of strategies such as testimonialization,
medicalization and legalization, are investigated, with the help of
critical security studies literature, to cultivate an understanding
of an effects based approach to weapons. The attempt here is not
only to introduce some innovative, conceptual tools but also to
provide a coherent and critical narrative of the experiences of the
ICRC vis-a-vis states to regulate and prohibit weapons. This
experiential account of the ICRC's engagement with the problem of
weapons is significant as it produces an empowering, alternative
discourse making visible subjugated knowledge in the field of arms
control and disarmament.
