About this product

Product Information

Definitions are often the first step toward granting or denying a person's rights. The Guide's aim is to provide precise meaning and content for terms such as "terrorism," "refugee," "genocide," and "intervention" " terms that the media have introduced into everyday conversation, yet whose legal and political meanings are often obscure. The Practical Guide to Humanitarian Law explains the terms, concepts, and rules of humanitarian law in accessible and reader-friendly alphabetical entries. Written from the perspective of victims and those who bring them assistance, the Guide outlines the dangers, spells out the law, and points the way toward dealing with violators and violations of the law. Entries in the Guide are complemented by detailed bibliographic references; addresses, phone numbers, and internet addresses of the organizations presented; a thematic index; and an up-to-date list of the status of ratification of the more than 20 international conventions and treaties concerning humanitarian law, human rights, refugees, and international criminal law. Published in cooperation with Doctors Without Borders/Medecins sans Frontiers.

Reviews
This is an excellent much-needed book--authoritative, succinct, comprehensive and practical. The book will certainly be invaluable for NGO workers, journalists, peacekeepers and others whose work brings them into contact with issues and situations which raise human rights issues, or who work in areas of repression and/or violent conflict. The work is not only full and detailed, it is set out with admirable clarity. For the combination of reliability and ease of use, it would be difficult to better this volume. In addition, The Practical Guide to Humanitarian Law is an excellent study text and reference book. This book is indispensable and deserves the widest possible dissemination., There is no need to be a legal expert to read this reference work and find it useful. It is a mine of information, not only for humanitarian personnel, but also for anyone who--through media reports--has been sensitised to the problems associated with humanitarian aid (ethnic cleansing, refugees, etc.). A book to be put in the hands of all future graduates in Humanitarian Affairs., This book sheds a refreshingly simple light on the intricacies of humanitarian law and the subtleties of such things as international relations, in so far as they bear upon the substantive legal issues. The Practical Guide to Humanitarian Law both fills an important gap, and serves as a timely reminder that trees do in fact exist in the woods of humanitarian law. Therefore students ought to find this book useful as a supplement to their academic texts; 'coal-face' humanitarian workers, including many lawyers, may find it to be very valuable by way of a brief encyclopaedic reference; and academics at least a useful plain English quiver within their array of legalistic weapons. Bouchet-Saulnier is to be congratulated for this no-nonsense publication., Unique. . . . As violent conflagrations erupt in many parts of the world, this book provides a very useful guide to exceedingly difficult territory, including the specific organizations and institutions that deal with these harsh problems. The Practical Guide to Humanitarian Law is clear and not technical, yet precise and well documented. Altogether, it is a valuable contribution to our ceasless quest for a more compassionate humanity., Anyone who works or lives in the world's zones of danger needs to have a practical knowledge of international humanitarian law. This guide is clear, accessible, and reliable. So it is invaluable.

A+ Seller! Very good communication. There was a glitch with the tracking, it was showing like if only a label had been created. I contacted the seller who promptly addressed my concern and showed me a screenshot showing that my order was in transit 👍 Sure enough I received it, it was well packaged and the book was just as described! Very pleased with my order and the excellent customer care. Thank you 😊
