Abstract
Establishing the circumstances pursuant to which parties to an armed conflict are required to provide reparations or other compensation for harm inflicted in the course of hostilities is an enduring and seemingly intractable challenge in the field of public international law. With the recent full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the ensuing harm to civilian persons and property being inflicted daily on an almost unimaginable scale as a result of the ongoing fighting, the issue of recompense for damage inflicted in the course of armed conflict has become infused with a renewed sense of urgency. My contribution to the Remedies and Reparations for Individuals Under International Law panel explores the topic that I refer to as “belligerent liability”—that is, reparations or other compensation required to be distributed by states for harm to civilian persons or property caused during armed conflict—from both a conceptual and applied approach.
