Accountability of Armed Opposition Groups in International Law (Cambridge Studies in International and Comparative Law)

"Who is accountable under international law for the acts committed by armed opposition groups? In today's world the great majority of political conflicts involve non-state actors attempting to exert a political influence (such as overthrowing a government or bringing about secession). Notwithstanding their impact on the course of events, however, we tend to know little about these groups, and even less about how to treat their actions legally." "This study will be of interest to academics, postgraduate students and professionals involved with armed conflict and international relations."--BOOK JACKET.
