Crimes of War

http://www.crimesofwar.org/

"The Crimes of War Project is a collaboration of journalists, lawyers, and scholars that seeks to raise awareness of the laws of war and of the human consequences when armed conflict becomes entrenched. The goal of the Project is to translate the often dry, dense and arcane language of international humanitarian law so that it will have meaning and immediacy for news editors, reporters, policy makers, students and the general public. This knowledge, we believe, will help combat a sense of impunity by those in power and eventually reduce the incidence of war crimes."
