This volume commemorates the centenary of the First

the main issues addressed are the changing nature of means and methods of

warfare, the law of weaponry, and challenges to humanitarian assistance and

protection of the civilian population affected by armed conflict. Specific

topics include the legal regime governing nuclear weapons, the prohibition of

chemical weapons and arms control, the evolution of naval warfare, asymmetric

conflicts, the law of occupation and cultural property. A comprehensive Year in Review also describes the

most important events and legal developments that took place in 2014.





The Yearbook of

International Humanitarian Law is the world's only annual publication

devoted to the study of the laws governing armed conflict. It provides a truly

international forum for high-quality, peer-reviewed academic articles focusing

on this crucial branch of international law. Distinguished by contemporary

relevance, the Yearbook of International

Humanitarian Law bridges the gap between theory and practice and serves as

a useful reference tool for scholars, practitioners, military personnel, civil

servants, diplomats, human rights workers and students.
