OUVRAGE : S. Casey-Maslen, A. Clapham, G. Giacca, S. Parker, The Arms Trade Treaty: A Commentary

Stuart CASEY-MASLEN, Andrew CLAPHAM, Gilles GIACCA, Sarah PARKER

The United Nations Arms Trade Treaty became binding international law in late 2014, and although the text of the treaty is a relatively concise framework for assessing whether to authorize or deny proposed conventional weapons transfers by States Parties, there exists controversy as to the meaning of certain key provisions. Furthermore, the treaty requires a national regulatory body to authorize proposed transfers of conventional weapons covered by the treaty, but does not detail how such a body should be established and how it should effectively function.

OUVRAGE : A. Clapham, P. Gaeta, M. Sassòli (eds.), The 1949 Geneva Conventions: A Commentary

Andrew CLAPHAM, Paola GAETA, Marco SASSÒLI

The four Geneva Conventions, adopted in 1949, remain the fundamental basis of contemporary international humanitarian law. They protect the wounded on the battlefield, those wounded or shipwrecked at sea, prisoners of war, and civilians in time of war. However, since they were adopted, warfare has changed considerably. This book investigates the application of the Geneva Conventions and explains how they should be interpreted today. It considers the Conventions in light of the developing obligations imposed by international law on states, armed groups, and individuals, most notably through international human rights law and international criminal law. This commentary adopts a thematic approach while providing detailed analysis of all the relevant Articles of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
