In three distinct volumes the editors bring together a distinguished group of contributors whose essays chart the history, practice, and future of international humanitarian law.

I highly recommend that all libraries with a focus on international humanitarian law, and more broadly on international law, purchase the set." Louise Tsang, Georgetown University Law Center, "International Journal of Legal Information""
