ABSTRACT
This book examines key issues and debates regarding the connections between armed conflict and human rights, both theoretical and practical. It also examines the key legal sources and obligations in both international human rights law and international humanitarian law. And it does so from a grounded, real-world perspective, through in-depth case studies of particular countries involved in and emerging from armed conflict, paying attention to the specific human rights and conflict resolution challenges presented in each, and the compromises ultimately reached. The chapters in Part I examine in detail a wide range of human rights and accountability mechanisms that have been developed, each of which maps to one or more of the country case studies in Part II. This book thus examines an important set of issues
that are directly located at the intersection of courses on human rights and international humanitarian law, and courses on conflict analysis and conflict resolution. The approach is explicitly hybrid, mixing disciplinary approaches, policy analyses, case studies, and legal analyses.
