Application of International Humanitarian Law to United Nations Forces - Softcover
Mr. Mendis's latest book 'Application of International Humanitarian Law to United Nations Forces' is extremely informative and insanely thought provoking. It is a must read for scholars on International Humanitarian Law. It is also a timely publication in the context of increasingly important role played by the international community in conflict resolution.. The author's analysis of the United Nation's approach to International Humanitarian Law would definitely lead to more constructive discussion on the topic at this crucial juncture in the existence of the United Nation. He has been brave enough to question practices within the Organization whose reason for existence is the maintenance of peace and security. He does this tactfully without unnecessarily antagonizing any party. There are many points in this book that could be lessons to the United States as well considering the presence of its forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. Mr. Chinthaka Mendis being an accomplished practitioner of International law having worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, holding a BA in International Relations from the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka, an LLM in International Law and Law of International Organizations from the Rijks University of Groningen in Netherlands, is an ideal scholar to compile such in-depth research work. The language used in the publication is clear and simple which will open the readership of the book not only in the highest levels of academia but to college students and others interested in world affairs.
