International law has lacked a widely-accepted definition of armed conflict despite the essential human rights and other rules dependant on such a definition. During armed conflict, government forces have combatant immunity to kill without warning. They may detain enemy forces until the end of the conflict without the requirement to provide a speedy and fair trial. Governments may have asylum obligations or neutrality obligations. To fill this gap in the law, the International Law Association formed a study committee to report on the meaning of armed conflict. This book contains the initial report of that committee and papers delivered at an inter-disciplinary conference to help the committee better understand how we understand armed conflict in our world today.
