By drawing together key documents, case law, reports and other materials on international humanitarian law from diverse sources, the book presents in a systematic and analytically coherent manner this body of law and to offer students, teachers and practitioners an easily accessible, targeted but also critically informed account of the relevant rules and of how they apply in practice. It covers all areas of international humanitarian law and specifically addresses issues of contemporary interest such as cyber warfare, targeting, occupation, detention, human rights in armed conflict, peacekeeping, neutrality, responsibility and accountability, enforcement, reparations. The book is ideal for instruction, research, reference and application purposes either as a standalone resource or as accompaniment to textbooks and more specialist references.
