The International Committee of the Red Cross's Customary
International Humanitarian Law by Jean-Marie Henckaerts and Louise
Doswald-Beck (Cambridge University Press, 2005) contains a unique
collection of evidence of the practice of States and non-State
actors in the field of international humanitarian law, together
with the authors' assessment of that practice and their compilation
of rules of customary law based on that assessment. The Study
invites comment on its compilation of rules. Perspectives on the
ICRC Study on Customary International Humanitarian Law results from
a year-long examination of the Study by a group of military
lawyers, academics and practitioners, all with experience in
international humanitarian law. The book discusses the Study, its
methodology and its rules and provides a critical analysis of them.
It adds its own contribution to scholarship on the interpretation
and application of international humanitarian law.

Although the relationship between international human rights law
and the law of armed conflict has been the subject of significant
recent academic discussion, there remains a lack of comprehensive
guidance in identifying the law applicable to specific situations
faced by military forces. Providing guidance for armed forces and
practitioners on the detailed application of international human
rights law during armed conflict, this book fills that gap. Part 1
of the volume details foundational information relating to
international human rights law and human rights institutions, the
types of operations that States' armed forces engage in, and how
the law of armed conflict and international human rights law apply
to regulate different situations. Part 2 provides practical
guidance as to the legal regulation of specific situations,
including discussion of the conduct of hostilities, detention
operations, humanitarian assistance, cyber operations, and
investigations. This book is the result of an in-depth process
involving both academic and practitioner experts in the law of
armed conflict and international human rights law who were convened
in meetings at Chatham House chaired by Elizabeth Wilmshurst,
Distinguished Fellow at Chatham House. The group included Professor
Francoise Hampson, Essex University; Professor Dapo Akande, Oxford
University; Charles Garraway, Fellow at Essex University; Professor
Noam Lubell, Essex University; Michael Meyer, British Red Cross;
and Daragh Murray, Lecturer at Essex University.
