In light of recent wars in Gaza, Lebanon or Ukraine, Robert Kolb’s Advanced Introduction discusses in a short and captivating manner some of the most controversial issues relating to the distinction between Hague and Geneva Law, ius ad bellum and ius in bello, combatants and civilians, humanitarian and human rights law, mixed conflicts or neutrality.’ – Manfred Nowak, Professor of Human Rights, Vienna and Secretary General of the Global Campus of Human Rights, Italy This timely second edition provides a thought-provoking introduction to international humanitarian law (IHL). Robert Kolb provides an updated exploration of the field through questions – which are at times challenging and controversial – in order to get to the very essence of the subject and give a fresh perspective.
