Michael John-Hopkins

The Rule of Law in Crisis and Conflict Grey Zones

Regulating the Use of Force in a Global Information Environment

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book attempts to clarify what targeting and weaponry rules apply to the use of force in situations of irregular armed conflict and violence. In particular, it focuses on developing objective criteria for determining where the shift from a law and order paradigm to an armed conflict occurs; developing improved objective criteria for determining civilian direct participation in hostilities and de facto membership in an organized armed group; examining how existing rules are being applied to unconventional conflicts within civilian populated areas by key state players as well as by international and regional human rights mechanisms.
