Abstract
Forces involved in contemporary military operations are often called upon to assume functions both of law enforcement and of hostilities, each of which are governed by different legal standards. It is therefore important to distinguish between these two concepts, identify potential overlaps between them, and determine how the respective legal paradigms governing each type of operation interrelate. The generic concept of law enforcement can be defined for the purposes of operational law as comprising all territorial and extraterritorial measures taken by a State or other collective entity to maintain or restore public security, law and order or to otherwise exercise its authority or power over individuals, objects, or territory. The rules and principles of international law governing the conduct of law enforcement activities form the legal paradigm of law enforcement.
