Editorial

ABSTRACT

[...]ten years after the International Review of the Red Cross published its editions on “Understanding armed groups and the applicable law” and on “Engaging armed groups”,1 the purpose of the present bundle of articles and an interview is to take stock of some recent developments, including the humanitarian impact and challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. [...]two fascinating articles analyse the topic of reparations by NSAGs for violations of international law committed by them. [...]in order to ensure that readers of the International Review of the Red Cross remain up to date about noteworthy recent institutional documents from, or initiatives by, the ICRC in the realm of international humanitarian law, policy and action, the final part of this edition (“Reports and documents”) bundles a series of such documents, either in “executive summary” format or in their entirety. 1 International Review of the Red Cross, Vol. 93, No. 882, June 2011;and International Review of the Red Cross, Vol. 93, No. 883, September 2011.
