About the author

Dr. Shane Darcy is a senior lecturer at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, in the National University of Ireland Galway, a globally recognized institution for teaching and research on human rights and humanitarian law. He has published widely in the fields of international humanitarian law, criminal law, and human rights, including articles in leading peer-reviewed journals such as the International Review of the Red Cross, Journal of Conflict and Security Law, Journal of International Criminal Justice, Leiden Journal of International Law, The Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law, and the Military Law Review.

Summary

Despite the harsh treatment that can befall collaborators in armed conflict, and despite collaboration often not being voluntary, international law leaves unanswered the ethical questions posed by those who join with the enemy. Shane Darcy explores the issue, calling for a much needed assessment of the protections granted to collaborators in war.
