In the foreword to the book, Minister Anže Logar wrote “Slovenia's foreign policy aims to ensure and strengthen international peace as well as national security, development and stability. Our country has been responding to new security challenges by undertaking different activities within international organisations, conferences and forums active in the fields related to international humanitarian law. These include arms control, disarmament, non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the prevention of arms trafficking, and the comprehensive ban on anti-personnel landmines and cluster munition, as well as the regulation of small arms and light weapons”.
The book was edited by Ambassador Andrej Grasselli, while the authors include several diplomats.
Last year, the translation of Geneva Conventions, the founding text of international humanitarian law, and their Additional Protocols were published in the International Law Series together with the English original texts.
