Produktbeschreibung
This book examines the complex challenges facing international humanitarian law in the face of modern wars. It analyses how the historical principles of the Geneva Conventions, their Additional Protocols and other treaties are being challenged by the ever-changing dynamics of the conflicts in Syria, Gaza and Ukraine. Asymmetric warfare, cyber warfare, urbanisation of warfare, privatisation of warfare, environmental warfare, hybrid warfare and alliance warfare are just some of the modern phenomena that the time-honoured conventions have to deal with today. From the streets of Aleppo and the rubble of Gaza to the contested territories of Ukraine, this book offers an indispensable insight into the real impact of 21st century warfare on civilian populations. Through a careful examination of these conflicts, the author shines a critical light on the gaps and inadequacies of current regulations and proposes necessary reforms to adapt to modern warfare. This book is for anyone interested in international law, human rights and the evolution of international humanitarian law. It offers not only a detailed analysis of current conflicts, but also a visionary view of the future of international law in an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
