Seventeen million people have died in civil wars and rebel violence
has disrupted the lives of millions more. In a fascinating
contribution to the active literature on civil wars, this book
finds that some contemporary rebel groups actually comply with
international law amid the brutality of civil conflicts around the
world. Rather than celebrating the existence of compliant rebels,
the author traces the cause of this phenomenon and argues that
compliant rebels emerge when rebel groups seek legitimacy in the
eyes of domestic and international audiences that care about
humanitarian consequences and human rights. By examining rebel
groups' different behaviors such as civilian killing, child
soldiering, and allowing access to detention centers, Compliant
Rebels offers key messages and policy lessons about engaging rebel
groups with an eye toward reducing civilian suffering in war zones.
