This book considers those aspects of human rights law which may become relevant to the activities of armed forces whether they remain in barracks, undertake training or are deployed in military operations within their own state or outside it. The unique nature of military service and of military courts gives rise to human rights issues in respect both of civilians and soldiers, whether volunteers or conscripts, who find themselves before these courts. Peter Rowe examines these issues as well as the application of international humanitarian law alongside the human rights obligations of the state when forces are training for and involved in armed conflict.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"The first years of the twenty-first century have certainly presented a target-rich environment for legal scholars concerned with these issues, but saying that does not do justice to Rowe's book, whose strength lies in its ability to organize and, to the extent possible, integrate three bodies of jurisprudence that fit togehter only imperfectly: military law, international humanitarian law, and human rights law. This project is an ambitious one, as demonstrated by the sheer range of the topics that he addresses." - Eugene R. Fidell, National Institute of Military Justice
