Various mechanisms and approaches for implementing international humanitarian law and protecting and assisting war victims
This article presents an overview of the various mechanisms to improve the situation of people affected by armed conflict. Some are anchored in international humanitarian law, but numerous actors are increasingly contributing to its implementation outside the original framework established for that purpose. Human rights monitoring bodies, the diverse organs and agencies of the United Nations and regional organizations, and governmental and non-go…
Cooperation between truth commissions and the International Committee of the Red Cross
Starting with the usual functions of truth and reconciliation commissions, the article outlines the possibilities for and limits of cooperation by the ICRC with the varying types of commissions. The question as to the degree of such cooperation has mostly been resolved on similar lines to the privilege of non-disclosure in international criminal trials. Within the parameters of its principles of neutrality and impartiality and the operative rule …
Interview with Philippe Kirsch, President of the International Criminal Court

He is a member of the bar of the province of Quebec and was appointed Queen's Counsel in 1988.

Asymmetrical warfare from the perspective of humanitarian law and humanitarian action

The militarily weaker party is tempted to have recourse to unlawful methods of warfare in order to overcome the adversaries' strength. The expectation of reciprocity as a fundamental motivation for respecting the law is often illusory and replaced instead with perfidious behaviour; covert operati…

L'appartenance à une force armée particulière distinguait les soldats de lews ennemis. En outre, l'uniforme militaire avait et a d'autres fonctions complémentaires comme la promotion de l'obéissance, la camaraderie et la manifestation de la force. Le droit int…
The establishment of a permanent international criminal court
Violations of international humanitarian law are not a new phenomenon. Nor is the establishment of an international criminal court to counter such violations a new idea. The first project creating a link between violations of a humanitarian treaty — that is, the Geneva Convention of 1864 for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded in Armies in the Field — and penal sanction by a permanent international judicial body was drawn up by Gusta…
