Rules
of international humanitarian law and other rules relating
to the conduct of hostilities
ICRC, 2005
Formerly known as The Code of Conduct, this publication is
a collection of treaties regulating the conduct of hostilities.
It has been updated and now includes a number of treaties
that have been adopted since 1995. This body of law, often
referred to as the “law of The Hague” is of particular
importance in alleviating the effects of armed conflict in
that it regulates and limits the methods and means of warfare
used by the parties to the conflict. Notably, the 1977 Additional
Protocols to the 1949 Geneva Conventions, which make a very
important contribution to the law on the conduct of hostilities,
are reproduced in this edition for the first time. Target
audience is government officials, academics, legal professionals,
delegations and National Societies.
