Abstract
The 2003 Law on Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law was promulgated on 5 August 2003, published on 7 August 2003 and entered into force on the same date. It abrogates the 1993 Law on the Punishment of Serious Violations of International Humanitarian Law and introduces its content into other laws. The law of 5 August 2003 and the substantial changes it brings about were described in the previous Biannual update of January — June 2003.
