Distorted Terminology
The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) has closed hundreds of investigations into alleged ill-treatment of detainees by British troops in Iraq. This article probes one reason given for the closure of these investigations: the assertion (without further evidence) that the allegations were ‘less serious’, ‘lower-level’ or in the ‘middle’ range of severity. These terms usually appear without reference to international law, and are once defined with refere…

The obligation to train troops in international humanitarian law (IHL) is simply stated and its implementation delegated to State discretion. This reflects a past assumption that mere dissemination of IHL would be an effective contribution to the prevention of violations.

Sophisticated Constructivism in Human Rights Compliance Theory
In recent decades, there has been an increase in the volume and sophistication of works on compliance theory in international law in general, and in human rights in particular.

It was also the first to address in detail the ratio of the seminal judgment in Pinochet No. 3 , a ruling that has given rise to much speculation as to the relationship between State immunity, jus cogens norms and human rights. This …
