We have just updated the customary IHL database to include additional practice from Chad, Côte d'Ivoire, Cuba, the Russian Federation and Viet Nam.
The database contains:
- the 161 rules of customary IHL identified in the 2005 ICRC customary IHL study;
- the practice underlying that study;
- regular updates reflecting national and international practice in the field of IHL.
