International Humanitarian LawModern Developments in the Limitation of Warfare\nAuthor(s): Hilaire McCoubrey\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367194659, 978-0367194659\nSynopsis\nFirst Published in 1998, this book presents an analysis of international humanitarian law, the law governing and seeking to mitigate the conduct of armed conflict. Since the first edition of this work came out in 1990 there have been important developments in the law and, sadly, a continuing experience of armed conflict and the humanitarian crises which it represents. As a result, this is not so much an updating as the offering of a new book. International humanitarian law is here taken as coterminous with the jus in bello and covers both its Geneva and Hague elements dealing, respectively with the humanitarian protection and assistance of victims of armed conflict and the controls and restrictions placed upon methods and means of warfa.
