Law of Armed Conflict: Application and Practice
- Year of Publication: 2021
- ISBN: 9789390673735
Law of Armed Conflict: Application and Practice has been conceptualised as a clinical treatise on International Humanitarian Law. The increasing role of India in strategic and security spheres mandates it must adhere to the laws of armed conflict in different situations of engagement. The problems depicted in the book would be useful for a cross section of rank and file on the notions of proportionality, distinction, protection, military necessity and command responsibility. The initial chapters would assist in the promulgation of a training strategy to promote dissemination of the law of armed conflict and its related disciplines by way of simulation, case studies and role play. The book is the first of its kind in South Asia. The practical examples depicting diverse issues of the means and methods of war will help strategic experts, military commanders, diplomats, media and all students interested in national defence.
