Biannual update on national implementation of international humanitarian lawJuly–December 2016
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 September 2018
The biannual update on national legislation and case law is an important tool in promoting the exchange of information on national measures for the implementation of international humanitarian law (IHL).
This selection of national legislation and case law has been prepared by Estefania Polit, Legal Attaché for the ICRC Advisory Service on International Humanitarian Law, with the collaboration of regional legal advisers.
1 In order to assist States, the ICRC Advisory Service proposes a multiplicity of tools, including thematic fact sheets, ratification kits, model laws and checklists, as well as reports from expert meetings, all available at: www.icrc.org/en/war-and-law/ihl-domestic-law (all internet references were accessed in August 2018).
