Synopsis

Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful introductions to major fields in the social sciences, business and law, expertly written by the world’s leading scholars. Designed to be accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject areas.



This timely second edition provides a thought-provoking introduction to international humanitarian law (IHL). Robert Kolb provides an updated exploration of the field through questions – which are at times challenging and controversial – in order to get to the very essence of the subject and give a fresh perspective. The result is an exposition of both the law as it stands, through its written and unwritten rules, and also of the uncertainties, gaps, controversies and practical problems which have arisen. IHL is revealed as a living tool, an ever-adapting means to an ever-remaining need of protection during times of armed conflict.



Key features include:

  • Thoroughly revised and updated throughout
  • Concise and accessible, whilst taking a rigorous approach.
  • Covers the main principles, sources of law and implementation
  • Focus on key questions, exploring the whole system of law and its practical working



    • Reflecting on current questions regarding the structure of the law, this concise and readable new edition offers a thought-provoking and modern view of the system as a whole and its practical working. It covers the main principles, applicability issues and implementation of humanitarian law, as well as shedding light on the challenges ahead. This thoughtful introduction will provide unique insights for academics, advanced students, government officials and practitioners interested in the legal construction of international humanitarian law.
