Anti-Personnel Mines Under Humanitarian Law A View from the Vanishing Point

This book considers in depth the various customary and conventional legal regimes applicable to the use of anti-personnel mines. It assesses how successfully humanitarian law -- the 'vanishing point' of international law -- has managed to reduce the threat to civilians from anti-personnel mines, and identifies lessons for the future regulation of other conventional weaponry. All involved with the global effort to control and eliminate anti-personnel mines as well as the policy-makers who are concerned about the devastation resulting from the widespread deployment of these arbitrary weapons need to familiarise themselves with the information presented in this timely volume.Maslen, Stuart is the author of 'Anti-Personnel Mines Under Humanitarian Law A View from the Vanishing Point' with ISBN 9781571052445 and ISBN 1571052445.
