- Summary:
- "This Volume explores the making and shaping of the law of armed conflict. A variety of aspects of law-making and shaping are analysed, from identification of a rule of customary international humanitarian law to questions of treaty interpretation and from whether and how to regulate a 'new' situation to whether a treaty rule continues to bind the parties. Issues of making and shaping the law underlie almost every contentious legal issue, from whether an intended practice is covered by an existing rule of conventional or customary international humanitarian law to the weight to be given to interpretations of particular actors. Despite the importance of questions of making and shaping the law, there are relatively few in depth treatments of the subject. The Volume explores the fundamental materials of the law of armed conflict, actors and influences, spaces and questions of unmaking"-- Provided by publisher.
- This volume in the Lieber Studies series explores how the law of armed conflict is made and shaped. It examines the fundamental materials of the law of armed conflict, key actors and influences, the spaces where the law is made, as well as questions of unmaking.
