In asymmetric armed conflicts military agents carry out targeted killings against civilians taking "a direct part in the hostilities". This book defines such participation and revisits the applicable legal framework. Treaty requirements for the recognition of non-state actors are addressed and the legal ethics of a strict status-based approach (combatants/civilians) is opined on. The research uses numerous graphs for illustration purposes and closes with a fictional case study.
