<br/><br/> <br/>Book description<br/><br/>The International Committee of the Red Cross's study of Customary International Humanitarian Law by Jean-Marie Henckaerts and Louise Doswald-Beck (Cambridge, 2005) contains a unique collection of evidence of the practice of States and non-State actors in the field of international humanitarian law, together with the authors' assessment of that practice and their compilation of rules of customary law based on that assessment. The study invites comment on its compilation of rules. Perspectives on the ICRC Study on Customary International Humanitarian Law results from a year-long examination of the study by a group of military lawyers, academics and practitioners, all with experience in international humanitarian law. The book discusses the study, its methodology and its rules and provides a critical analysis of them. It adds its own contribution to scholarship on the interpretation and application of international humanitarian law.<br/><br/><br/>Select Frontmatter<br/><br/>    Frontmatter<br/>    pp i-iv<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Contents<br/><br/>    Contents<br/>    pp v-vi<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Preface<br/><br/>    Preface<br/>    pp vii-x<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select List of contributors<br/><br/>    List of contributors<br/>    pp xi-xii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Table of cases<br/><br/>    Table of cases<br/>    pp xiii-xxi<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Table of treaties and other instruments<br/><br/>    Table of treaties and other instruments<br/>    pp xxii-xxviii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Abbreviations<br/><br/>    Abbreviations<br/>    pp xxix-xxxii<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Part 1 - Setting the scene: Theoretical perspectives on international law in the ICRC Study<br/><br/>    Part 1 - Setting the scene: Theoretical perspectives on international law in the ICRC Study<br/>    pp 1-2<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 1 - The methodological framework of the Study<br/><br/>    1 - The methodological framework of the Study<br/>    pp 3-14<br/>        By Daniel Bethlehem<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 2 - The approach to customary international law in the Study<br/><br/>    2 - The approach to customary international law in the Study<br/>    pp 15-49<br/>        By Iain Scobbie<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 3 - Other areas of customary law in relation to the Study<br/><br/>    3 - Other areas of customary law in relation to the Study<br/>    pp 50-74<br/>        By Françoise Hampson<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Part 2 - The status of conflict and combatants: The ICRC Study<br/><br/>    Part 2 - The status of conflict and combatants: The ICRC Study<br/>    pp 75-76<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 4 - Status of armed conflicts<br/><br/>    4 - Status of armed conflicts<br/>    pp 77-100<br/>        By Jelena Pejić<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 5 - Combatant status<br/><br/>    5 - Combatant status<br/>    pp 101-128<br/>        By Anthony Rogers<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select Part 3 - Commentary on selected Rules from the ICRC Study<br/><br/>    Part 3 - Commentary on selected Rules from the ICRC Study<br/>    pp 129-130<br/>            Get access<br/>        Export citation<br/><br/>Select 6 - The law of targeting<br/><br/>    6 - The law of targeting<br/>    pp 131-168<br/>        By Michael N.
