Laws regulating armed conflict have existed for centuries, but the bulk of these provisions have been concerned with wars between states. Relatively little attention has been paid to the enormously important area of internal armed conflict. At a time when international armed conflicts are vastly outnumbered by domestic disputes, this book seeks to redress the balance through a comprehensive analysis of those rules which exist in international law to protect civilians during internal armed conflict. From regulations in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries according to the doctrine of recognition of belligerency, this book traces the subsequent development of international law by the Geneva Conventions and their additional Protocols, as well as through the more recent jurisprudence of the Yugoslav and Rwandan tribunals. The book also considers the application of human rights law during internal armed conflict, before assessing how effectively the applicable law is, and can be, enforced.

Dr Moir has a good understanding of the law in this area, and a keen analytical style.' Journal of Conflict & Security Law '... the book provides a well-written assessment of the current rules governing internal armed conflict. To have addressed such a heterogeneous field in a comprehensive way is in itself a significant achievement.' The Cambridge Law Journal 'Lindsay Muir has written a definitive work on international humanitarian law in internal armed conflicts. All the major cases and relevant treaties and conventions are cited besides other pertinent documentation. What is more, there is an excellent discussion of the law in practice in several such situations.' Economic and Political Weekly '... a well-written and comprehensive introduction to the legal regime governing internal armed conflicts. the work of Moir should definitely prove useful to scholars and students of humanitarian law.'
