Soviet nationality policy has led to numerous conflicts in and between the successor states of the Soviet Union, some of them violent. The military occupation of large parts of Azerbaijan by Armenia in 1993 is a particularly drastic example of the consequences of this nationality policy. The UN Security Council reacted to the armed conflict between the two states with four resolutions. It called for an end to the occupation, the withdrawal of the occupying forces and the return of displaced persons. These demands have not yet been met, but they are nonetheless legally binding and form the basis for the necessary peace settlement.

It is becoming increasingly apparent that there are major gaps in International Humanitarian Law and Public International Law in the area of humanitarian assistance. In response international organizations such as the UN and the EU are developing their own legal frameworks for humanitarian assistance and the body of customary law and so-called international disaster response law is growing steadily. This however shows that a coherent body of law is far from being a given. The legal reality of international law pertaining to emergency response is rather broadly spread over various international legal fields and related documents, covering situations of armed conflict and natural disasters. This book is one of the first attempts of linking different legal areas in the growing field of what could be called the international law of humanitarian assistance.
