This book offers the most authoritative commentary and analysis of international humanitarian law applicable in armed conflict available. It is based upon the Joint Service Regulation for the German Ministry of Defence, augmented with extensive international references, and accompanied bycommentary by a team of distinguished and internationally renowned experts. Whilst the past decades have seen consistent development of international law applicable in armed conflict, culminating in a series of International Covenants and Protocols, world events in recent years have made reassessment of the law both a timely and topical concern. This Handbook available for the first time in paperback will serve as an indispensable reference source for practising lawyers and academics working in the field of international humanitarian law and for military personnel worldwide.

The Handbook of Humanitarian Law in Armed Conflicts

Michael N. Schmitt

The essays selected for this volume provide a comprehensive analytical survey of the scope and applicability of international humanitarian law. Many of the articles address highly contentious issues relating to the decision whether to apply international humanitarian law in lieu of, or in addition to, other bodies of law, such as the jus ad bellum and international human rights law. Others consider the applicability of international humanitarian law in the light of contemporary conflicts, such as whether and to what extent international humanitarian law provides rules governing counter-terrorism operations.
