About the Book

It is indisputable that the way armed conflict is conducted has changed dramatically in the last half of the 20th century. The contributions to this volume accept the reality of these changes, and seek to assess the efficacy of certain aspects of international humanitarian law. The volume commences with a critical evaluation of the 1977 Protocols additional to the four Geneva Conventions of 1949. Subsequent chapters consider increasing protection for women and minorities in armed conflict; efforts to control the weapons of war; and identifying the law applicable to peace operations.

"In sum, The Changing Face of Conflict and the Efficacy of International Humanitarian Law, is an absorbing collection of legal essays offering a panoramic view of the prospects and challenges international humanitarian law is facing in the dawn of the 21st century. [...] To all those interested in keeping abreast of the evolving debate on core issues of international humanitarian law, this edited volume is fully recommended." – in: Netherlands International Law Review, 2000 "This thought-provoking book, which contains the papers presented during a conference held in 1997 at the University of Melbourne, Australia, to mark the 20th anniversary of the two 1977 Additional Protocols to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, is a case in point [… ] In an excellent overview Christopher Greenwood describes the intentions and the process that led to the two 1977 Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions." – Marco E. Odello, in: International Review of the Red Cross 841 (2001), p. 240-243
