Abstract:
First published as a book in 2007, this encyclopedic guide was transformed into an online resource in April 2016. It is both a dictionary and an authoritative overview of international humanitarian law. It not only defines terms and concepts relevant to humanitarian assistance, war, peace, and human rights; it also provides a succinct summary of their legal context, relevant quotes from treaties, citations to case law, extensive cross-references to other related terms, and bibliographies for further reading. Entries for organizations include contact details and web addresses (although note that these are not necessarily current). Lists of states parties to the principal humanitarian law, human rights, refugees, and international criminal law treaties are included. The original print edition was published in French by La Découverte under the title Dictionnaire pratique du droit humanitaire. It has also been published in Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Turkish.
