Modern warfare : armed groups, private militaries, humanitarian organizations, and the law / edited by Benjamin Perrin. - Vancouver : UBC Press, 2013. - xx, 395 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The face of modern warfare is changing as more and more humanitarian organizations, private military companies, and non-state groups enter complex security environments such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Haiti. Although this shift has been overshadowed by the legal issues connected to the War on Terror and intervention in countries such as Rwanda and Sudan, it has caused some to question the relevance of the laws of war.
