Armed Conflict and the New Law Vols I and II
Hazel Fox, Michael MeyerPublished: January 1970
This two-volume collection presents papers given to the Discussion Group on the Law of Armed Conflict.
The theme of the first volume, as indeed was the initial purpose of the Discussion Group, is an examination of the new law introduced into the Laws of War by the Additional Protocols of 1977 and the UN Weapons Convention. The theme of the second volume is different and derives from a view frequently put forward by speakers in the Group, and well expressed by Dr Hans-Peter Gasser: '...the issue is not so much to set new standards as to improve the record of compliance with existing substantive norms of international humanitarian law'.
