Accountability for Violations of International Humanitarian Law

Accountability for Violations of International Humanitarian Law considers the key issues resulting from breaches of norms of international humanitarian law (IHL) and how impunity for such breaches can be tackled. Experts in the field come together in this volume to honour Timothy McCormack, a world-renowned expert on international humanitarian law. This book is particularly concerned with the interplay between the rules governing accountability for violations of IHL and those of other areas of law, including international criminal law, human rights law, arms control law, general principles of international law, national constitutional law and national criminal law.
