This book gives an up-to-date and comprehensive analysis of
international humanitarian law or the laws of war. The author has
traced the history of the laws of war and examined their relations
with human rights and refugee laws. The topics covered include
protection to the victims of war: prisoners, civilians, women,
children, the natural environment and cultural property. The book
contains an updated account of the functioning of the International
Criminal Court, and explores the concept of command responsibility,
as well as the area of private military and security companies.
Besides discussing the law during air and naval warfare, the author
has critically examined certain challenges which humanitarian law
is facing today from cyber warfare; nuclear, phosphorous and
depleted uranium weapons; the use of chemical agents; and targeted
killing. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested
or working in the field of international humanitarian law:
teachers, students, lawyers, government officials, military and
police personnel, researchers and human rights activists.
