Implementation of International Humanitarian Law

This book though was initially meant for partial fulfillment of a degree work is very helpful to those who are interested to study International Humanitarian Law. It could serve as an introductory kit for students of the law of armed conflict who approach the subject for the first time. The descriptive analysis on treatment of prisoners of war in the Ethio-Eritrean war of 1998-2000 is not only informative for concerned authorities of the states parties to the conflict but generally for all states that could potentially engage in an armed conflict. It provides useful information for policy makers on issues that should be taken into consideration in peace times as well as during times of armed conflict to better implement the law of war.
