The intention of the fifth and last part is to focus on "Future directions for international humanitarian law". It contains four articles, in which the following issues are examined: theoretical aspects of relations between human rights law and international humanitarian law (Louise Doswald-Beck and SylvainVite), the protection of children (Geraldine van Bueren) and of the natural environment (Betsy Baker), and the new Convention on the Safety of United Nations and Associated Personnel (M.-Christiane Bourloyannis-Vrailas). The selection given is interesting, but the reader would perhaps like to see a greater variety of current issues addressed. This is a most interesting and useful collection of articles which are all topical in the field of international humanitarian law. Some of them have become real classics. Readers will appreciate finding them together in one single volume. Any selection, of course, reflects the editor's judgment of what is important and what is less so. Others will invariably make a different choice. Judith Gardam's selection of articles on international humanitarian law is judicious. On a purely formal level the failure to use the full customary term "international humanitarian law" in the book's title is regrettable. It is moreover to be hoped that, at least in scholarly articles, "international humanitarian law" will not be replaced definitively by "IHL". We should have the time and the patience to express what we really mean without resorting to ugly abbreviations.
