The Fourth Geneva Convention for Civilians
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-1-83860-430-1 (ISBN)
How did the world – against seemingly insurmountable odds – draft and legislate this landmark in humanitarian international law? The Fourth Geneva Convention for Civilians draws on archival research across seven countries to bring together the Cold War interventions, founding motives and global idealisms that shaped its conception. Gilad Ben-Nun draws on the three key principles that the convention brought about to consider the recent events where its application has either been successfully applied or circumvented, from the 2009 Gaza War, the war crimes tribunal in the former Yugoslavia and Nicaragua vs. the United States to the contemporary conflict in Syria.
Weaving historical archival research, a grounding in the concepts of international law, and insightful analysis of recent events, this book will appeal to a broad range of students, academics and legal practitioners.
Gilad Ben-Nun is Senior Researcher at Leipzig University’s Centre for Area Studies, where he teaches Global Studies and the History of International Law. Previously, he was Marie Curie Individual Fellow at the International Law Department of Verona University, a Ford Foundation Research Fellow at UNIDIR and a UN Middle East Program Officer. He has published the book Seeking Asylum in Israel: Refugees and the History of Migration Law (I.B.Tauris, 2017) which was nominated for the 2017 US National Jewish book award.
