Law of War Training
Law of War Training: Resources for Military and Civilian Leaders is a resource manual on training for militaries in the law of armed conflict.
The manual examines different programs and models for law of war training for militaries, including national training, governmental bilateral assistance training, and participation in international programs, in three main sections:
- An analysis of the different options for pursuing military training in the law of armed conflict
- A directory of programs and models for law of war training
- Web links with information about the laws of war in general and law of war training
Countries around the world can reference the manual to help ensure that their military forces are trained in the laws of war in accordance with the obligations set forth in the Geneva Conventions and, if they do not currently have such training, can use it in initiating law of war training for their own militaries.
