Focusing on recent issues arising in the course of hostilities between States, it explores the dividing line between lawful and unlawful combatants, the meaning of war crimes and command responsibility, the range of prohibited weapons, the distinction between combatants and civilians, the parameters of targeting and proportionality, the loss of protection from attack (including 'direct participation in hostilities') and special protection (granted, pre-eminently, to the environment and to cultural property) This is the leading textbook on the law of international armed conflict. In a completely revised and updated text, the author expertly covers the key principles and explores recent issues which have arisen in the field, including the use of autonomous weapons and the complexities of urban warfare.
