| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Continued engagement with LOAC and IHL is ongoing with the Judge Advocates
General Department taking the primary role. Its training institution in Kamptee
is at the forefront. There has been increased interaction with the ICRC since
India opened up to the ICRC in the mid nineties, after initially being defensive
with respect to Kashmir. Not only has IHL been introduced into officer and
subordinate ranks courses, but guest lectures are also organised. Increased
scope of the engagement is possible, particularly if it finds mention in the next
edition of the Army doctrine. Increasing the scope of adherence to IHL, such as
by acceding to AP I and the ICC, can be debated. Even if India remains outside,
it can be expected that it would follow the tenets as a responsible power. |
