Although this shift has been overshadowed by legal issues connected to the War on Terror and intervention in countries such as Rwanda and Sudan, it has caused some to question the relevance of the laws of war. To bridge the widening gap between the theory and practice of the law, Modern Warfare brings together both scholars and practitioners who offer diverse perspectives on the key challenges to the law's legitimacy: how to ensure compliance among non-state groups; the proliferation of private military companies in the employ of humanitarian organizations; tension between the idea of humanitarian space and counterinsurgency doctrines; and the phenomenon of urban violence. By bringing to light the law's limitations -- and potential -- this timely book opens a path to preventing further unnecessary suffering and violence. 606 $aHumanitarian law 606 $aInsurgency 606 $aPrivate security services 606 $aUrban violence 606 $aHumanitarian assistance 615 0$aHumanitarian law. 615 0$aInsurgency. 615 0$aPrivate security services. 615 0$aUrban violence. 615 0$aHumanitarian assistance. 676 $a341.6/7 701 $aPerrin$b Benjamin$01489710 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779197003321 996 $aModern warfare$93792795 997 $aUNINA
