International Human Right to Conscientious Objection to Military Service and Individual Duties to Disobey Manifestly Illegal Orders


Book Description

International human rights law grants individuals both rights and responsibilities. In this respect international criminal and international humanitarian law are no different. As members of the public international law family they are charged with the regulation, maintenance and protection of human dignity. The right and duty to disobey manifestly illegal orders traverses these three schools of public international law. This book is the first systematic study of the right to conscientious objection under international human rights law. Understanding that rights and duties are not mutually exclusive but complementary, this study analyses the right to conscientious objection and the duties of individuals under international law from various perspectives of public international law.




Human Rights and the International Law of Military Operations


Book Description

The basic rights and freedom inherited by an individual at the time of their birth are called human rights. These can never be taken away and are possessed by them until his death. Human rights are applicable everywhere, for everyone, and at every time. Some of the basic human rights are protection against enslavement, right to education, and right to free speech. International military law is responsible for regulating the actions of armed individuals, groups, and states involved in hostilities. Law on military operations draws from different bodies of legal rules such as the international humanitarian law, targeting law, weapons law, etc. This legal framework attempts to counterbalance the fragmentations of different international laws. This book presents the complex subject of human rights and law of military operations in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. Some of the diverse topics covered herein address the varied branches that fall under this category. The book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
