Various legal and practical challenges, arising when investigating the fatal consequences of the use of force, are examined through the practice of the US, the UK, Canada and Israel during military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and the occupied Palestinian territory. Alon Margalit considers this topical and sensitive issue within a broader context, namely the public scrutiny of State behaviour and influence of human rights law during armed conflict. The debate over the scope of the duty to investigate reflects competing approaches looking to (re)shape the balance between military necessity and humanitarian considerations. 410 0$aInternational Humanitarian Law Series$v54. 606 $aWar crimes investigation 606 $aMilitary occupation 606 $aWar$xProtection of civilians 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWar crimes investigation. 615 0$aMilitary occupation. 615 0$aWar$xProtection of civilians. 676 $a341.67 700 $aMargalit$b Alon$01067926 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511427203321 996 $aInvestigating civilian casualties in time of armed conflict and belligerent occupation$92552216 997 $aUNINA
