Protecting the Environment in Armed Conflict
The specific legal protection of the environment during armed conflict is a relatively recent development in the context of international humanitarian law.

This issue of the International Review of the Red Cross delves into the many ways that conflict can adversely impact the environment – and into how the existing international legal framework protects against these impacts.
