Warzones are sometimes described as lawless, but this is rarely the
case. Armed insurgents often replace the state as the provider of
law and justice in areas under their authority. Based on extensive
fieldwork, Rebel Courts offers a compelling and unique insight into
the judicial governance of armed groups, a phenomenon never studied
comprehensively until now. Using a series of detailed case studies
of non-state armed groups in a diverse range of conflict
situations, including the FARC (Colombia), Islamic State (Syria and
Iraq), Taliban (Afghanistan), Tamil Tigers (Sri Lanka), PKK
(Turkey), PYD (Syria), and KRG (Iraq), Rebel Courts argues that it
is possible for non-state armed groups to legally establish and
operate a system of courts to administer justice. Rules of public
international law that regulate the conduct of war can be
interpreted as authorising the establishment of rebel courts by
armed groups. When operating in a manner consistent with due
process, rebel courts demand a certain degree of recognition by
international states, institutions, and even other non-state armed
groups. With legal analysis enriched by insights from other
disciplines, Rebel Courts is a must read for all scholars and
professionals interested in law, justice, and the effectiveness of
global legal standards in situations of armed conflict.
