By drawing together key documents, case law, reports and other materials on international humanitarian law from diverse sources, the book presents in a systematic and analytically coherent manner this body of law and to offer students, teachers and practitioners an easily accessible, targeted but also critically informed account of the relevant rules and of how they apply in practice. It covers all areas of international humanitarian law and specifically addresses issues of contemporary interest such as cyber warfare, targeting, occupation, detention, human rights in armed conflict, peacekeeping, neutrality, responsibility and accountability, enforcement, reparations. The book is ideal for instruction, research, reference and application purposes either as a standalone resource or as accompaniment to textbooks and more specialist references.

Reviews for International Humanitarian Law: Cases, Materials and Commentary

'There are some books that experienced IHL scholars and practitioners keep within arm's reach - International Humanitarian Law by Nicholas Tsagourias and Alasdair Morrison sits at the top of that list. Its comprehensive, up-to-date collection of IHL-related material, with commentary, is an indispensable resource for anyone doing IHL research, from students and faculty to government andnon‑governmental legal advisers.' Michael Schmitt, G. Norman Lieber Distinguished Scholar, West Point Praise for the first volume: 'Tsagourias and Morrison have put together a casebook on international humanitarian law containing a rich variety of sources, which will be of value to both students and instructors in the field. This casebook is the only one available for use in specialised courses in the fields of international humanitarian law and related disciplines. It can be used on its own or alongside a traditional textbook for courses at undergraduate and graduate level at both universities and military academies and staff colleges. I recommend it highly.' Terry Gill, Professor of Military Law, University of Amsterdam and Netherlands Defence Academy
