Detention and Occupation in International Humanitarian Law

Herausgeber: Schmitt, Michael N

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Detention and occupation are two challenging aspects of international humanitarian law in 21st century warfare. The essays selected for this volume examine both the historical foundations of these issues and contemporary practices surrounding them. The suitability of traditional detention and occupation law in the face of today's circumstances is discussed as well as claims that aspects of humanitarian law are outmoded and must be reassessed. Also considered is the extent to which other bodies of law, especially human rights, are influencing the application of international humanitarian law.
