Military discipline and the law

In June 2011, the South African National Defence Force and the ICRC co-hosted senior operational officers from 60 countries across the globe for the week-long Senior Workshop on International Rules governing Military Operations (SWIRMO). Andrew Carswell, the ICRC's director of that event, discusses the importance of translating international humanitarian and human rights law into the operational practice of armed forces.
