About the product

The end of the cold war has brought in its wake a host of wars within States, often involving unusual violence and cruelty against the civilian population. This publication is a practical instrument for tackling violations of international humanitarian laws. It offers guidelines for the conduct of United Nations inquiries into allegations of massacres. The issues covered include: the principles on the effective prevention and investigation of extralegal, arbitrary and summary executions; incident report information form (IRI); and Model protocol for a legal investigation of extralegal, arbitrary and summary executions.
