Behind the images of devastating floods and earthquakes, or massive forced displacements resulting from armed conflicts, is the all too real suffering faced by individuals and families. From the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami to the on-going conflict in Syria, recent years have seen an increasing debate regarding the international legal mechanisms to protect persons in such humanitarian crises.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe International Legal Protection of Persons in Humanitarian Crises\u003c\/i\u003e argues that an \u003ci\u003eacquis humanitaire\u003c\/i\u003e is identifiable through the interconnected web of existing and emerging international, regional and national laws, policies and practices for the protection of persons caught up in humanitarian crises. Indeed, the humanitarian imperative to alleviate suffering wherever it may be found permeates various branches of international law, and is reflected in the extensive humanitarian activities undertaken by States and other actors in times of armed conflict, population displacement and disaster. Dug Cubie argues that by clarifying the conceptual framework and normative content of the \u003ci\u003eacquis humanitaire\u003c\/i\u003e, gaps and lacunae can be identified and the overall protection of persons strengthened.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDug Cubie is a lecturer in the School of Law, University College Cork, Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 22, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51804306309408,"sku":"9781509931316","price":122.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/dd5f8440f18c44d110cefda919bbfca7.webp?v=1780897515","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-international-legal-protection-of-persons-in-humanitarian-crises-exploring-the-acquis-humanitaire-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
