Chetail: The Transfer and Deportation of Civilians

Vincent Chetail (Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies) has posted The Transfer and Deportation of Civilians (in The Geneva Conventions: A Commentary, A. Clapham, P. Gaeta & M. Sassoli eds., forthcoming). Here's the abstract:
This Chapter analyses the legal regime governing transfers, deportations and forcible displacements of civilians in times of armed conflicts. It does not only provide an in-depth commentary of the relevant provisions under international humanitarian law; it also details the role of other applicable branches of international law, such as international refugee law, human rights law and criminal law. This inclusive approach offers a comprehensive and systemic overview of the international protection against forcible displacement in armed conflicts.
