Includes bibliographical references and index.
The framework -- The preconditions of a NIAC -- Thresholds and interaction of armed conflicts -- Fighters, civilians and LONIAC -- Foreign intervention in a NIAC -- Recognition -- State responsibility -- The principal LONIAC treaty provisions -- Additional treaty texts -- NIAC war crimes -- LONIAC customary international law -- LONIAC and human rights law -- Conclusions.
"Due to their preponderance and intensity, non-international armed conflicts are currently very much in the public mind: often, more so than international armed conflicts. The present volume serves as a comprehensive introduction to the international legal regime of non-international armed conflicts, proceeding strictly in light of what the contemporary law is (as distinct from what the present author or anybody else would like it to be). Non-international armed conflicts raise a raft of issues that need to be addressed, including in particular their preconditions, thresholds, diverse forms and configurations; the discordant perspectives of the international and domestic legal systems; as well as the application of treaty and customary law to non-State actors. In addition, it is necessary to examine the consequences of intervention by foreign States; the role of the Security Council; the effects of recognition; State responsibility for wrongdoing to the installations, diplomats or nationals of foreign States, etc. The interface between the law of international and non-international armed conflicts is a matter of crucial concern. There are also numerous specific problems, ranging from the complexities of "failing States" to the recruitment and use of child-soldiers"--
