The role of armed groups in the internationalization of non- International armed conflicts

Abstract

The strict separation of the rules of international humanitarian law dealing with the types of armed conflicts has resulted in enormous deficiencies with regard to provisions dealing with non-international armed conflicts, which has cast a shadow over the worsening problems that subsequently occurred in the field of internationalized armed conflicts, the increasing frequency of political interests and international

congruence that govern them, as well as the emergence of armed groups as an arm of the colonial powers that have harnessed them in the

service of their expansionist projects. Thus, the rules governing such conflicts have become useless, especially with those rules remaining on the shelves of the human library, without any visible attitude that relieves the innocent in those conflicts.  Thus, it became necessary to identify the origins of this problem, to the extent that solutions are clarified, by extrapolating the most important positions and opinions issued by the international judiciary and jurisprudence in their handling of some of the internationalized armed conflicts that are resolved, and some of the sentences handed down against the perpetrators.
