Abstract

This book is a guide to international human rights law as it applies to situations of armed conflict, to counter-terrorism measures and to any other situation of actual or potential violence requiring security measures. These situations can lead to some of the most fundamental human rights being put in danger of being violated. These include the right to life, the prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment, enforced disappearance, all the rights relating to detention and due process of law, and the freedoms most commonly affected by armed conflict and counter-terrorism. The book begins with a presentation on the application of human rights to such situations and an explanation of the regime of limitations and derogations. After an overall description of the relationship between human rights law, on the one hand, and international humanitarian law and international counter-terrorism measures, on the other, the book concentrates on the rights themselves. Each chapter presents the relevant treaty provisions and explains the interpretation of the rights by reference to the case law and general comments of these treaty bodies. The book concludes with a section on how international human rights law protects certain vulnerable and disadvantaged populations in such situations.

Abstract

This commentary provides critical insight into the negotiating history that led to the adoption of the international elements of war crimes. It also presents existing jurisprudence relevant to the interpretation of the war crimes in the ICC Statute. It serves as a tool in the implementation of international humanitarian law in cases dealing with war crimes and offers practitioners (judges, prosecutors and lawyers) and academics critical information on the substance of the crimes.

Abstract

Customary International Humanitarian Law, Volume I: Rules is a comprehensive analysis of the customary rules of international humanitarian law applicable in international and non-international armed conflicts. In the absence of ratifications of important treaties in this area, this is clearly a publication of major importance, carried out at the express request of the international community. In so doing, this study identifies the common core of international humanitarian law binding on all parties to all armed conflicts.

Abstract

C'est à la demande de la communauté internationale que le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) a entrepris en 1996, avec le concours de nombreux experts renommés, une étude de grande ampleur sur la pratique actuelle des Etats en matière de droit international humanitaire, afin de circonscrire le droit coutumier dans ce domaine. Le présent ouvrage - complété par le volume z, Practice, qui n'existe qu'en version anglaise - est le fruit de cette étude. Il présente une analyse complète des règles coutumières de droit international humanitaire applicables dans les conflits armés tant internationaux que non internationaux. Etant donné que certains traités essentiels dans ce domaine n'ont pas encore été universellement ratifiés, cette publication revêt une importance cruciale, puisqu'elle définit le noyau commun de droit international humanitaire qui lie toutes les parties à tous les conflits armés. Cet ouvrage sans précédent sera un outil capital pour toute personne concernée par le droit international humanitaire.
