Cullen A. The Concept of Non-International Armed Confl ict in International Humanitarian Law

Cambridge University Press, 2010. — 237 p. — ISBN: 978-0-521-76048-5.The objective of this study is twofold. First, it seeks to highlight misconceptions surrounding the concept of non-international armed conflict in international humanitarian law. Second, it advances an argument refining interpretation of the lower threshold of non- international armed conflict. Although the majority of armed conflicts that have occurred since the Second World War may be characterised as noninternational,
research on the application of international humanitarian law to such situations has been sparse.
