International Humanitarian Law Made Simple - Nov 2011

This booklet is produced by the Outreach and Public Affairs Section of the procedures more accessible to all readers, especially those in the rural Special Court for Sierra Leone. Its aim is to make our mission and areas remote from the Special Court. The booklet's structure involves several sections where key concepts of International Humanitarian Law are explained in simple language, accompanied by illustrations which portray visually the same message.

These illustrations are not meant to be exact representations. Instead, they are meant to communicate concepts which are often abstract and complex. This booklet is one of Outreach's many initiatives to provide information, not only about the Special Court knowledgeable about important legal concepts relating to the rule of law itself, but also about key issues related to it. The Court hopes that a public will form part of its legacy in years to come.
