This book examines the obligations of troops to prevent serious
abuses of human rights towards civilians under international
humanitarian law and international human rights law. It analyzes
the duty to intervene to stop the commission of serious abuses of
human rights by analyzing the meaning and practical consequences
for troops, in terms of civilian protection, of the Article 1 duty
to respect and ensure respect for the Geneva Conventions; of the
duty to secure human rights (found in most international human
rights treaties); and of the duty to restore law and order in an
occupation.
The book also analyzes the extent of troops' obligations to
provide protection in light of various different operational and
legal contexts in and discusses 'grey areas' and lacuna of
coverage. A discussion of whether new approaches are needed, for
example where operations are undertaken explicitly to protect
people from serious violations of their human rights follows; and
the book concludes by offering some guidelines for troops faced
with such violations.
