State Conflicts with Non-State Actors:

       Reconceptualizing Duties and Liabilities

 

   September 10, 2008, ICT's 8th International Conference, Herzliya, Israel

          

          Armed conflict often involves weaker, non-state combatants using strategies and tactics

          forbidden  by international humanitarian law to offset their military disadvantage.  Conducting

          a battle is complicated by the fact that the participants cannot readily be labeled in order to

          determine their status and treatment under the law.  In recognition that the traditional laws and

          norms of armed conflict no longer provide sufficient guides for combat, this workshop gathers

          together scholars and practitioners to further the debate about the next steps in adapting

          international humanitarian law to this form of asymmetric warfare.
