Over the past twenty-five years, significant changes in the conduct
of wars have increasingly placed civilians in traditional military
roles - employing civilians to execute drone strikes, the 'targeted
killing' of suspected terrorists, the use of private security
contractors in combat zones, and the spread of cyber attacks. Under
the laws of armed conflict, civilians cannot be targeted unless
they take direct part in hostilities. Once civilians take action,
they become targets. This book analyses the complex question of how
to identify just who those civilians are. Identifying the Enemy
examines the history of civilian participation in armed conflict
and how the law has responded to such action. It asks the crucial
question: what is 'direct participation in hostilities'? The book
slices through the attempts to untie this Gordian knot, and shows
that the changing nature of warfare has called into question the
very foundation of the civilian/military dichotomy that is at the
heart of the law of armed conflict.
