Description:
"...This publication provides a thorough legal analysis and guidance to
State authorities, human rights and humanitarian actors and others
on the application of international human rights law and international
humanitarian law for the protection of persons in armed conflict. It
addresses, in particular, the complementary application of these two
bodies of law. It does not aim to cover all relevant aspects, but seeks
instead to provide an overview of their concurrent application. It provides
the necessary legal background and analysis of the relevant notions,
in order for the reader to better understand the relationship between
both bodies of law, as well as the implications of their complementary
application in situations of armed conflict..."
