Precise of the Laws of Armed Conflicts

While scholarly, it is written with a clear practical approach, rendering the comprehension easy for any person who needs to understand the laws of armed conflicts.

This book explores these laws as they apply to land, air and sea operations, but also to special cases such as children-soldiers, mercenaries and others. It addresses the contemporary issue of the determination of the status of combatant for the detainees in Guantanamo Bay and the coming Iraqi Special Tribunal to try Saddam Hussein and former members of the Iraqi regime.

As such, it makes for a much needed contemporary reading of the laws of armed conflicts and an excellent document to base one's understanding of current events and the laws applicable.
