ECMI Library
The ECMI Library is an independent collection of books, journals, and grey literature of more than 3,000 items covering many aspects of minority issues. The highly specialized collection offers public access to a variety of materials in more than twenty languages on interethnic relations, language and cultural diversity issues and ethnic conflict in Europe.
The Library includes a useful reference section and a considerable number of published and unpublished reports, and is especially strong in the area of minority protection with regards to international law. The ECMI Library is also unique in that it includes an ever-growing number of annual reports of Ombudsman offices around the world, which provide insight into the human rights situation in many countries. Current periodical and newspaper subscriptions reflect the multidisciplinary nature of ECMI research, and reference services are provided both in-house and for the general public.

| Description | The laws of armed conflict are under challenge as hostilities erupt in many parts of the world. All too obviously, few of these conflicts are being fought according to the traditional laws of war. Many armed forces, including the Australian Defence Force, are facing the challenge of how to respond to combatants who ignore the Geneva and Hague Conventions. In many of these conflicts, too, armed forces are required to operatte in situations where even basic law and order is absent. How should armed forces conduct themselves lawfully in these difficult circumstances? How is the law responding to such challenges? This book covers these questions from three main perspectives: the commanders who are responsible for conducting operations according to the laws of war; the diplomats responsible for shaping new laws; and the victims who are caught up in destructive conflicts. |
