Humanizing the Laws of War
An analysis of the role of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in international norm creation and the progressive development of international humanitarian law.
The Politics and Everyday Practice of International Humanitarianism
Through a combination of detailed case studies of humanitarian emergencies and thematic chapters which cover key concepts, actors and activities, this book explores the work of the largest international humanitarian agencies. Its central argument is that politics play a fundamental role in determining humanitarian needs, practices, and outcomes. In making this argument, the book highlights the many challenges and dilemmas facing humanitarian agencies in the contemporary world. It covers significant ground-temporally, geographically and thematically. The book is divided into four sections, providing a wide-ranging survey of contemporary international humanitarianism. The first section begins ...
Making and Shaping the Law of Armed Conflict
This volume in the Lieber Studies series explores how the law of armed conflict is made and shaped. It examines the fundamental materials of the law of armed conflict, key actors and influences, the spaces where the law is made, as well as questions of unmaking.
The Authority of the International Committee of the Red Cross
This book conducts the first ever comprehensive study of the ICRC’s interpretations and law-ascertainments. It analyses in detail their impact on the development of international humanitarian law and international law in general as well as the reasons for their impact. This analysis involves the discussion of the ICRC’s authority. Is it legal or just factual authority? The analysis also illuminates the direction that IHL – and international law in general – develops. This insight sheds light on the question of the current type of international law, i.e., what international law is and who makes it.

The Concept of Climate Migration
This timely book offers a unique interdisciplinary inquiry into the prospects of different political narratives on climate migration. It identifies the essential angles on climate migration – the humanitarian narrative, the migration narrative and the climate change narrative – and assesses their prospects. The author contends that although such arguments will influence global governance, they will not necessarily achieve what advocates hope for. He discusses how the weaknesses of the concept of “climate migration” are likely to be utilized in favour of repressive policies against migration or for the defence of industrial nations against perceived threats from the Third World.
Humanitarian Crises and Migration
Whether it is the stranding of tens of thousands of migrant workers at the Libyan–Tunisian border, or the large-scale displacement triggered by floods in Pakistan and Colombia, hardly a week goes by in which humanitarian crises have not precipitated human movement. While some people move internally, others internationally, some temporarily and others permanently, there are also those who become "trapped" in place, unable to move to greater safety. Responses to these "crisis migrations" are varied and inadequate. Only a fraction of "crisis migrants" are protected by existing international, regional or national law. Even where law exists, practice does not necessarily guarantee safety and se...

Polizei.Wissen.
In der Lehre an Polizeiaus- und -fortbildungseinrichtungen fallen immer wieder Themen an, die verschiedene Perspektiven auf sich zulassen. Das können z.B. die juristische, soziologische und die polizeipraktische Sichtweisen sein. Die Zeitschrift macht sich nun zur Aufgabe, a) eine Mannigfaltigkeit an Sichtweisen b) in kurzen Texten zusammenzuführen. Dadurch soll eine Diskussion möglich werden, die ansonsten nur schwer zu organisieren wäre und die sehr lange dauern könnte. Grundsätzlich wird in den Themenheften, ein Thema von verschiedenen Seiten beleuchtetet. Dabei wird jeweils besonders der polizeilichen Lehre als auch der polizeilichen Praxis Raum zur Aussprache eingeräumt.
