Keywords
Hague Conventions - International Humanitarian Law - international transitional civil administrations - Iraq - Kosovo - United Nations CharterSummary
This research aims at determining to what extent international human rights law, international humanitarian law, national criminal law and, where appropriate, international criminal law apply to the activities of military forces and international transitional civil administrations (ITAs), when one or different international organisations intervene and operate in a State's territory. An additional goal of this research is to determine whether the aforementioned legal regimes should be seen as complementary with one another, or, rather, they should be regarded as separate and distinct systems.
The grant provided by the GIAN for this project totals SFr 200,000
