- The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) plays a unique role in developing and implementation humanitarian law. This book is significant because it evaluates the developing mandate of the ICRC. The wide and challenging mandate of the ICRC requires a sustained investigation of distinct fields of study including legal personality, humanitarian law, human rights and general international law. The book negotiates these fields to develop a new analytical lens on the ICRC and tests its theoretical and doctrinal arguments through qualitative interviews and a case study of a major armed conflict (Democratic Republic of Congo). 216 pages.
