Abstract/Description:

This chapter presents the substantive rules of protection contained in IHL. While accounting for the specificities of NIACs, it is structured according to the classical protection regimes foreseen by IHL treaties for IACs that cover the wounded, sick and shipwrecked; combatants and prisoners of war; civilians in the power of the enemy; belligerent occupation (which is technically a subcategory of the rules on civilians in the power of the enemy); the missing and the dead; the protection of the civilian population against the effects of hostilities; means and methods of warfare more generally; the law of naval warfare; and the law of aerial warfare.
