Publisher Synopsis
This book achieves the highest standards of scholarship and represents a real step forward in international understanding of these most complex issues. Its impressive authority will ensure that it is widely consulted and cited, and will do much to drive forward the debate in the years ahead. I recommend the book heartily and congratulate all involved in its preparation. * William Boothby, International Affairs * This volume is a worth-while addition to the literature on classification of conflicts in IHL. It brings together some of the most eminent international scholars in IHL who offer their views on classification and on several relevant controversial questions. The analysis and debate generated offer the reader a comprehensive overview of-and plenty of food for thought on-the problems relating to classification... In short, this is a book definitely worth reading byanyone interested in classification of conflicts. * Vaios Koutroulis, Journal of International Humanitarian Legal Studies * Her book is a welcome and valuable addition to the literature on the law of armed conflict. Thanks to the inclusion of the case studies, the book has managed to move away from a purely accademic monograph to become an exceptionally useful tool to assist nations and their operational lawyers when making classification decisions. It therefore deserves the attention of students, accademics and practitioners alike. * Vincent Roobaert. Nato Legal Gazette * The on-the-ground approach demonstrated in this work has the very real merit of taking international lawyers, or more accurately international humanitarian lawyers, somewhat out of their comfort zone ... besides providing clarity for the expert on the vexed issue of classification of conflicts it will also be a resource for the more general reader with an interest in international humanitarian law and how it works in practice. * Judith Gardam, British Yearbook of International Law * Individual case studies are of invariably high qualityand yield myriad points of analytical interest. ... the case studies are well selected and thoroughly discussed. * Ioannis Kalpouzos, Leiden Journal of International Law * Read more...
