In this two-part series, a star panel of Liesbeth Lijnzaad, Sean Murphy, and Jean-Marie Henckaerts explore the theory and practice of treaty interpretation, understand the role of commentaries and shed light on the methodology behind drafting ICRC’s updated Commentaries to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols.  


The updated Commentaries are being published online by the ICRC and in print by CUP. So far three commentaries have been published. 


 For each Commentary, a summary article has been written in the International Review of the Red Cross:
