Laws regulating armed conflict have existed for centuries, but the
bulk of these provisions have been concerned with wars between
states. Relatively little attention has been paid to the enormously
important area of internal armed conflict. At a time when
international armed conflicts are vastly outnumbered by domestic
disputes, this book seeks to redress the balance through a
comprehensive analysis of those rules which exist in international
law to protect civilians during internal armed conflict. From
regulations in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
according to the doctrine of recognition of belligerency, this book
traces the subsequent development of international law by the
Geneva Conventions and their additional Protocols, as well as
through the more recent jurisprudence of the Yugoslav and Rwandan
tribunals. The book also considers the application of human rights
law during internal armed conflict, before assessing how
effectively the applicable law is, and can be, enforced.
