Contents:

Preface; 1. Human rights within the context of members of armed forces; 2. The human rights of members of the armed forces; 3. Human rights and the disciplinary process; 4. Civilians before military courts; 5. Human rights and international armed conflict; 6. Human rights, non-international armed conflict and civil disorder; 7. Human rights during multinational operations.

Summary: This book considers those aspects of human rights law which may become relevant to the activities of armed forces whether they remain in barracks, undertake training or are deployed in military operations within their own state or outside it. The unique nature of military service and of military courts gives rise to human rights issues in respect both of civilians and soldiers, whether volunteers or conscripts, who find themselves before these courts. Peter Rowe examines these issues as well as the application of international humanitarian law alongside the human rights obligations of the state when forces are training for and involved in armed conflict.
