American Society of International Law (ASIL).About the Event
The American Society of International Law (ASIL), headquartered in Washington DC, lists this online session as an ASIL Event on its events calendar. It is the online launch of the book ‘The International Law of Non-International Armed Conflict’, under the title “Regulating Today’s Non-International Armed Conflicts: From Law to Practice”.
Theme
ASIL notes that most armed conflicts today are non-international armed conflicts (NIACs), in which one or more organised non-State armed groups (NSAGs) fight with a certain level of intensity, either between themselves or against State forces. Citing the ICRC, the event page records that in 2024 the number of NIACs had tripled since 2000, from 30 to about 100, with more than 130 NSAGs party to such conflicts. Given their prevalence and human toll, the session looks at how international law regulates the conduct of the parties and protects individuals. The authors and panelists working in diplomacy, academia and humanitarian action will discuss how various facets of the book are of use in their work.
