The International Committee Of The Red Cross And Its Contribution To The Development Of International Humanitarian Law In Specialized Instruments, Knut Dörmann, Louis Maresca

Chicago Journal of International Law

The main instruments of international humanitarian law are the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their two Additional Protocols of 1977. These treaties cover the core aspects of international humanitarian law: protections for certain persons and property that are, or may be, affected by international or non-international armed conflict, as well as general limitations on the methods and means of warfare (the law on the conduct of hostilities).

We also consider related issues such as humanitarian intervention, collective security, and the role of the Security Council.
