To Protect and to Serve: Human Rights in Peace Missions Abroad

Focusing on human rights issues in UN peace missions, the book explores the application of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights concerning detentions and searches by armed forces abroad. The author challenges prevailing interpretations of Article 2 (1) of the CCPR, arguing that extending its scope beyond the text is misguided and could result in severe repercussions. This critical analysis offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of human rights in international contexts.
