promoting development of the humanitarian part of the laws of war
improving the unity and effectiveness of the movement
Fully updated throughout, the new edition will also include brand new material on:
armed actors who do not accept humanitarian restrictions on their actions, including expanded coverage of the Islamic State (ISIL, ISIS), Al Shabab, and Boko Haram, among others
Syrian internationalized civil war
issue of drone strikes and targeted killings, and the continuing push for regulation of what is called cyber war
the question of the field of application of international humanitarian law (what is the battlefield?). Particularly when states declare "war" on "terrorist groups" operating inside other states
regulation of new weapons and new uses of old weapons
