The right to life in armed conflict
This article describes the relevant interpretation of the right to life by human rights treaty bodies and analyses how this might influence the law relating to the use of force in armed conflicts and occupations where international humanitarian law is unclear. The concurrent applicability of international humanitarian law and human rights law to hostilities in armed conflict does not mean that the right to life must, in all situations, be interpr…
Customary International Humanitarian Law
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 so doing, this study identifies the common core of …
International humanitarian law and the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice on the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons
The Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice represents the first time that the Court's judges have been called upon to analyse in some detail rules of international humanitarian law. Other instances, for example, the Nicaragua case, involved nowhere near such an extensive analysis. The Advisory Opinion is therefore of particular interest in that it contains important findings on the customary nature of a number of humanitarian law …

San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflict at Sea
The law regulating the use of force at sea has long been due fora reevaluation in the light of developments in methods and means of warfare at sea and the fact that major changes have taken place in other branches of international law of direct relevance to this issue.

International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights Law
International humanitarian law is increasingly perceived as part of human rights law applicable in armed conflict. This trend can be traced back to the United Nations Human Rights Conference held in Tehran in 1968 which not only encouraged the development of humanitarian law itself, but also marked the beginning of a growing use by the United Nations of humanitarian law during its examination of the human rights situation in certain countries or …

The Civilian in the Crossfire
Unlike the publicized suffering of the civilian population, the law regulating armed conflict is not well known. The laws of war were first formulated within professional armies in order to regulate discipline, and thus although they also have a humanitarian purpose, they are a useful and practical body of law for the military The fundamental principle underlying the rules on hostilities is the distinction between military objectives and civilian…
