This volume of the Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law takes
a close look at the role of so-called "expert manuals" in the
interpretation and development of the international law of armed
conflict and connected branches of international law relating to
military operations. While these manuals can and do play an
undoubtedly useful role, their proliferation raises a number of
questions. What degree of authority do they have and how much
weight should be given to the views expressed in them? What is the
methodology they employ and how effective is it in ensuring an as
objective and impartial interpretation of the law as possible? What
is their place in the doctrine of sources? While there is already a
considerable body of literature addressing these and other relevant
questions, this volume aims to contribute further to this
discussion with contributions by three experts involved in one or
more of these manuals in one capacity or another. Alongside these
three contributions on this year's special theme, the second part
of the book comprises three chapters that address timely and
relevant issues of International Humanitarian Law. These range from
starvation as a method of warfare, to emerging technologies of
warfare, and also includes reflections on humanitarian assistance.

Understanding the global security environment and delivering the
necessary governance responses is a central challenge of the 21st
century. On a global scale, the central regulatory tool for such
responses is public international law. But what is the state, role,
and relevance of public international law in today's complex and
highly dynamic global security environment? Which concepts of
security are anchored in international law? How is the global
security environment shaping international law, and how is
international law in turn influencing other normative frameworks?
The Oxford Handbook of the International Law of Global Security
provides a ground-breaking overview of the relationship between
international law and global security. It constitutes a
comprehensive and systematic mapping of the various sub-fields of
international law dealing with global security challenges, and
offers authoritative guidance on key trends and debates around the
relationship between public international law and global security
governance. This Handbook highlights the central role of public
international law in an effective global security architecture and,
in doing so, addresses some of the most pressing legal and policy
challenges of our time. The Handbook features original
contributions by leading scholars and practitioners from a wide
range of professional and disciplinary backgrounds, reflecting the
fluidity of the concept of global security and the diversity of
scholarship in this area.
Over the past 150 years, the International Committee of the Red
Cross (ICRC) has been one of the main drivers of progressive
development in international humanitarian law, whilst assuming
various roles in the humanization of the laws of war. With select
contributions from international experts, this book critically
assesses the ICRC's unique influence in international norm
creation. It provides a detailed analysis of the workings of the
International Red Cross, Red Crescent Movement and ICRC by
addressing the milestone achievements as well as the failures,
shortcomings and controversies over time. Crucially, the
contributions highlight the lessons to be learnt for future
challenges in the development of international humanitarian law.
This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students
of international law, but also to practitioners working in the
field of international humanitarian law at both governmental and
non-governmental organizations.
Since 2008 increasing pirate activities in Somalia, the Gulf of
Aden, and the Indian Ocean have once again drawn the international
community's attention to piracy and armed robbery at sea. States
are resolved to repress these impediments to the free flow of trade
and navigation. To this end a number of multinational
counter-piracy missions have been deployed to the region.
This book describes the enforcement powers that States may rely
upon in their quest to repress piracy in the larger Gulf of Aden
region. The piracy rules of the United Nations Convention on the
Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the legal safeguards applicable to
maritime interception operations are scrutinized before the
analysis turns to the criminal prosecution of pirates and armed
robbers at sea. The discussion includes so-called shiprider
agreements, the transfers of alleged offenders to regional states,
the jurisdictional bases for prosecuting pirates, and the
feasibility of an internationalized venue for their trial. In
addressing a range of relevant issues, this book presents a
detailed and comprehensive up-to-date analysis of the legal issues
pertaining to the repression of piracy and armed robbery at sea and
assesses whether the currently existing legal regime is still
adequate to effectively counter piracy in the 21st century.
