Acquaviva: IHL in a Time of Crisis - Back to the Basics?

Guido Acquaviva (Kosovo Specialist Chambers) has posted IHL in a Time of Crisis - Back to the Basics? (in The Companion to International Humanitarian Law, Dražan Djukić & Niccolò Pons eds., 2018). Here's the abstract:
The Foreword to Brill's Companion to International Humanitarian Law provides an overview of the multifaceted issues facing international humanitarian law practitioners and scholars today, at a time when new technologies and old practices, principles, and rules appear to clash, and sovereign-centered philosophies challenge international mechanisms - judicial and otherwise - that have been interpreting and developing IHL over the past decades.
