Tristan Ferraro

• Collegium, No 43, automne 2013, p. 105-113

English

This contribution tries to answer the following questions: is IHL restricted to the battlefield? Does it apply to the whole territory of the parties to the conflict? Could IHL apply outside the territory of these parties, for instance in the territory of neutral or non-belligerent States? The key challenges these questions raise are analyzed in light of the classic dichotomy set by IHL between international armed conflict and non-international armed conflicts.
