Roberts and Guelff's text has become widely accepted internationally as a standard work on international humanitarian law. The book contains authoritative texts of the main treaties and other key documents covering a wide variety of issues: the rights and duties of both belligerents and neutrals; prohibitions or restrictions on the use of particular weapons; the protection of victims of war, including the wounded and sick, prisoners of war, and civilians; the application of the law to forces operating under UN auspices; the attempts to apply the laws of war in civil wars; the prosecution of war crimes and genocide; the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons; and many other matters. This third edition, greatly expanded from the second, contains thirteen new documents, including agreements on anti-personnel mines and laser weapons; key extracts from the statutes of the international criminal tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the International Criminal Court; two documents on UN forces and international humanitarian law; and an extract from the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice on nuclear weapons. There is a new appendix listing internet websites. The Introduction sets the subject in its historical context, outlines the various sources of the law, provides basic information about its application to states and individuals, and discusses its relevance in contemporary conflicts. In addition, each of the documents is preceded by a prefatory note by the editors, explaining matters relating to its adoption, interpretation and implementation, including how it relates to other agreements concluded subsequently. Each treaty is followed by a complete list of all states parties, along with the dates of adherence and details of any reservations or declarations which states have made. Prepared with extensive assistance from the official Depositaries of the various agreements, this is an essential reference book for statesmen and diplomats, members of armed forces and humanitarian organizations, lawyers, journalists, and students of international law and international relations.

Review

"An indispensable tool for any international lawyer." Professor Antonio Cassese, former President of the Yugoslav War Crimes Tribunal, The Hague "...Pre-eminant in quality at a price that is difficult to believe. The commentaries are a minor masterpiece in themselves". Paul Eden, School of Legal Studies, University of Sussex. "...Absolutely essential for LLM course. It covers all the important material. Easy to use, students like it. Congratulations on the new edition. Many students also buy it even though it is relevant to only half of a half year course". Peter Rowe, Law Department, Lancaster University. "...an invaluable resource for all practitioners and scholars of international law. The publication of the third edition could not have been more timely." Professor Christopher Greenwood, London School of Economics "Indispensable to practitioners and students alike ... We are much indebted to the patient and scholarly labours of the two editors." International Affairs "Editorial judgements are consistently sound ... The selection of documents is impeccable." Survival

5.0 out of 5 stars The classic compliation
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2019
Verified Purchase
This is the classic compilation of the core documents relating to the laws of war or international humanitarian law. Its only defect is that it dates back to 2000 and hence does not cover modern documents. Nonetheless it includes the essential texts and will be found in any practitioners book case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have text
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 October 2012

Quite simply this is a must have text for anyone with an interest in the law of armed conflict. It contains the majority of the treaties and agreements you will need in practice in a single volume that is easy to navigate.

I must also commend Amazon on the speed of delivery to me when I was overseas in a conflict zone.
