This is a comprehensive Report on every armed conflict which took
place during 2012. It is the first of a new series of annual
reports on armed conflicts across the globe, offering an
unprecedented overview of the nature, range, and impact of these
conflicts and the legal issues they create. In Part I the Report
describes its criteria for the identification and classification of
armed conflicts under international law, and the legal consequences
that flow from this classification. It sets out a list of armed
conflicts in 2012, categorising each as international,
non-international, or a military occupation, with estimates of
civilian and military casualties. In Part II, each of these
conflicts are examined in more detail, with an overview of the
belligerents, means and methods of warfare, the applicable treaties
and rules, and any prosecutions for, investigations into, or robust
allegations of war crimes. Part III of the Report provides detailed
thematic analysis of key legal developments which arose in the
context of these conflicts, allowing for a more in-depth reflection
on cross-cutting questions and controversies. The topics under
investigation in this Report include drone strikes, the use of
explosive weapons, small arms, forced displacement of civilians,
detention at Guantanamo Bay, and the enforcement of international
humanitarian and criminal law in both national and international
courts. The Report gives a full and accessible overview of armed
conflicts in 2012. It should be the first port of call for everyone
working in the field.
