Abstract

The Humanitarian law applicable to internal armed conflicts (NIACs) not of an international character (IACs) seems to be underdeveloped in so far as the available international law instruments are considered. While lot of political calculations were underlying this gloomy situation, it is worth considering whether there is any hope in enhancing this regime of law in light of the International Humanitarian law (IHL) rules applicable to IACs. This article explores the possibility of analogically adopting such rules to NIACs on the basis that the fundamental principles applicable to whatever armed conflicts are so common and similar, that maintaining an artificial two regimes of laws seems to be an anomaly in laws.
