Description:
Online guide to international humanitarian law (IHL), by Joan Policastri, Foreign and International Legal Research Specialist at the University of Denver, and Sergio Stone, Foreign, Comparative and International Law Librarian at Stanford Law School. Last updated in 2013, the guide is part of ASIL's Guide to Electronic Resources for International Law. It covers basic materials and concepts of IHL and gives links to websites providing treaties, customary law, judgments of international tribunals and domestic courts, and state practice. There are also links to bibliographic databases, catalogues and IHL websites. The guide has sections on "Hague Law", which covers the conduct of war and the regulation of weaponry, and "Geneva Law", which is concerned with the protection of civilians, POWs and other victims of war; it also covers the roles of institutions such as the International Committee of the Red Cross, United Nations, International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court.
