Detention in Non-International Armed Conflict

Detention under international law is highly regulated, but the law appears to be silent on non-international armed conflicts. This book uses case studies to examine the extent to which international humanitarian law can be applied in non-international contexts, and sets out a concrete proposal for how the law might develop in this area.
