Documents on the Laws of War

“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
