The law that regulates armed conflicts is one of the oldest branches of international law, and yet continues to be one of the most dynamic areas of law today. This book provides an accessible, scholarly, and up-to-date examination of international humanitarian law, offering a comprehensive and logical discussion and analysis of the law. The book contains detailed examples, extracts from relevant cases, useful discussion questions, and a recommended reading list for every chapter. Emerging trends in theory and practice of international humanitarian law are also explored, allowing for readers to build on their knowledge, and grapple with some of the biggest challenges facing the law of armed conflict in the twenty-first century. This second edition offers new sections on issues like detention in non-international armed conflict, characterisation of non-international armed conflicts, expanded chapters on occupation and the protection of civilians, means and methods of warfare, and implementation, enforcement and accountability.

For some, the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001, seemed to prove that the existing rules of international humanitarian law were outdated and that they needed immediate reformation and reinterpretation. These rules rested on the paradigm of a World War II-kind of interstate conflict with heavy weapons being used on both sides, whereas today asymmetric and more sporadic forms of conflict are pitted against non-State actors. Five years after the terror attacks, the world looks back on an international debate on the status and treatment of terrorist suspects which has at least led to the conclusion that the Geneva Conventions of 1949 are not as outdated and that their basic principles and rules are still valid and legitimate. The US Supreme Court has recently confirmed that the common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions give terrorist suspect detainees a right to have a proper trial. Adapted from the source document.

Working paper
This volume examines the role and application of humanitarian law by focusing on African countries that are emerging from civil wars. It offers an overview of international law, including its essential vocabulary, and describes four particular subfields of international law: international humanitarian law, international human rights law, international criminal law, and international refugee law. After setting forth this overview, the book considers practical mechanisms to implement international humanitarian law, focusing specifically on the experiences of Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Burundi.
