Nouvelle édition avec préface du Prince Hassan bin Talal. La protection de l’individu dans les situations de conflits armés et sa protection dans les situations de paix ont été scindées pour des raisons historiques, sociales, juridiques et politiques. Mohamed El Kouhene confronte ces deux branches de droit international que les développements récents rapprochent de manière substantielle. Il les compare sous l’angle des droits les plus fondamentaux de la personne et les met en relation sous leur aspect le plus délicat, à savoir les régimes de protection, leur portée, leurs interdépendances. Bien qu’ils constituent deux systèmes juridiques distincts, le droit international humanitaire et le droit international des droits de l’homme forment, plus que jamais, un faisceau de normes et de mécanismes de protection complémentaires. Cette approche complémentariste défendue par l’auteur dans la première édition du livre en 1986 ne s’est pas démentie au fil des ans. Au contraire elle a prospéré sous l’influence mutuelle de la doctrine, du législateur et du juge internationaux. Le sujet est toujours d’actualité, plus que jamais dirions-nous, car dans l’environnement sombre où nous vivons, la communauté internationale se doit de mobiliser tout l’arsenal juridique dont elle dispose pour sauvegarder et faire respecter les règles qui protègent l’humanité. Ce livre est une réédition du texte original avec une introduction et une préface nouvelles. "Eminent expert en droit international qui a consacré sa carrière à la réflexion et à l’action humanitaire, mon collègue Mohamed El Kouhene est idéalement placé pour présenter la complémentarité du droit international humanitaire et du droit international des droits de l’homme. Son ouvrage est un outil essentiel pour comprendre les règles et les mécanismes qui nous permettent de mieux protéger notre humanité. A lire absolument! " Catherine Bertini, Directrice exécutive du Programme alimentaire mondial des Nations Unies de 1992 à 2002. Couronné par le Prix Paul Reuter 1985 Décerné par le Comité International de la Croix-Rouge. Summary in English: The protection of the individual in situations of armed conflict and his protection in situations of peace were split, for historical, social, political, and legal reasons. Dr Mohamed El Kouhene confronts these two branches of international law that recent developments have brought closer in a substantial way. He compares them from the perspective of the most fundamental rights of the person and puts them in relationship under their most sensitive aspect, namely the protection systems, their scope, their interdependencies. Although they are two separate legal systems, humanitarian law and human rights constitute, more than ever, a set of complementary standards and protection mechanisms. This complementarity approach defended by the author in the first edition of the book in 1986 has not wavered over the years. On the contrary it flourished under the mutual influence of the doctrine and the international legislators and judges. The topic is still relevant, more than ever should we say, because in the dark environment where we live, the international community must mobilize all legal arsenals available to it to safeguard and enforce the rules that protect humanity. This book is a re-issued version of the original text with new introduction and preface.

This study demonstrates the extensive protection that international law provides to human rights even in the most serious of emergencies when they are particularly vulnerable. Based on a meticulous analysis of preparatory works and practice under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, as well as the American and European Conventions on Human Rights, and with a special chapter on the International Labour Organisation's approach to international labour standards and emergencies, this book shows that respect for the rule of law and the concept of a democratic society are controlling parameters in any valid limitation on the enjoyment of human rights. It further shows that respect for human rights and the operation of institutions such as the Legislature and Judiciary are crucial to enabling societies to address and eventually remedy the root causes of emergency situations. The study recommends possible directions for the development of case law and suggests some practical means to help ensure that international legal requirements are in fact respected in emergencies.

How do international human rights and humanitarian law protect vulnerable individuals in times of peace and war? Provost analyses systemic similarities and differences between the two to explore how they are each built to achieve their similar goal. He details the dynamics of human rights and humanitarian law, revealing that each performs a task for which it is better suited than the other, and that the fundamentals of each field remain partly incompatible. This helps us understand why their norms succeed in some ways and fail - at times spectacularly - in others. Provost's study represents innovative and in-depth research, covering all relevant materials from the UN, ICTY, ICTR, and regional organizations in Europe, Africa and Latin America. This will interest academics and graduate students in international law and international relations, as well as legal practitioners in related fields and NGOs active in human rights.
