War, Conflict and Human Rights by Chandra Lekha Sriram

War, Conflict and Human Rights is an innovative, interdisciplinary textbook combining aspects of law, politics, and conflict analysis to examine the relationship between human rights and armed conflict. The third edition has been revised and updated, making use of both theoretical and practical approaches.

Praise for previous editions:

“What makes this book such a superb teaching tool? The text begins by providing separate background chapters on human rights and conflict studiesThis makes the case studies and topical chapters completely accessible for a wide range of students. Clearly written and completely up to date, War, Conflict and Human Rights will undoubtedly find itself on the mandatory reading list of many syllabi.” -- Julie Mertus, American University, USA

“[The authors] have tackled the most perplexing issues of humanitarian protection and conflict resolution, clarified the hard choices and explored their implications in probing case studies. They demonstrate that the tools now available to promote human rights, though far from adequate, can make a positive difference when they are mobilized vigorously and authentically, respecting both shared rights and legitimate differences.”--Michael Doyle, Columbia University, USA

“This indispensable volume, useful for both teaching and research, navigates a path around the pitfalls inherent in the age-old conceptual struggle between peace and justice. In doing so it details a sophisticated agenda for conflict resolution and peacebuilding, through international humanitarian and human rights law, for the ultimate goal of conflict prevention.”-- Oliver Richmond, University of Manchester, UK
