Protection of the Natural Environment
Armed conflicts pose a threat to the natural environment, such as when hazardous substances are released as a result of attacks on industrial sites, or when biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons are used by the combatants. The international effort to protect better the natural environment from the ill-effects of armed conflict occurred in three phases: during the Vietnam War, during the Gulf War of 1990–91, and the adoption of the Internation…
Bringing the Commentaries on the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols into the twenty-first century
The ICRC Commentaries on the 1949 Geneva Conventions date back to the 1950s, and those on the 1977 Additional Protocols were written in the 1980s. Since the original Commentaries were published, the Conventions and Protocols have been put to the test, and practice with respect to their application and interpretation has developed significantly. In order to capture these new developments a major ICRC project to update the Commentaries on these six…

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 …
Study on customary international humanitarian law
This article explains the rationale behind a study on customary international humanitarian law recently undertaken by the ICRC at the request of the International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent.

Self-Executing Treaties and the Impact of International Law on National Legal Systems
The effects of international law on the domestic legal order of the various countries of the world are manifold and so are the issues covered in this bibliography. In some countries, some international treaties or treaty provisions can be invoked before and applied by national judges. These are the so-called self-executing treaties or treaty provisions. Whether treaties are self-executing is a domestic legal question for national judges to decide…

The Protection of Human Rights in the European Union
The treaties establishing the European Communities (“EC”) are virtually silent on the protection of human rights. Some earlier, more ambitious plans for European integration, the European Defense Community and the draft Statute of a European Political Community, dealt with the issue to some extent. However, these plans had failed and the EC founding fathers wanted to confine the treaty to the bare necessities of an economic community. They probab…
