Article 9 and the Attribution of Armed Groups’ Attacks to the Territorial State - Lieber Institute West Point Article 9 ASR represents a highly unusual rule of attribution, with an uncertain status in customary international law.

The #conflicts between #Israel, #Hamas, & #Hezbollah raise complex questions of #Stateresponsibility, requiring an assessment of whether the conduct of the #armedgroups can be attributed to a State. Jennifer Maddocks discusses Article 9 #ASR & its applicability. lieber.westpoint.edu/article-9-at...

#NIAC McLaughlin: what can we learn from pre-1949 #LOAC about #armedGroups? @MelbLawSchool

#NIAC Warner: @genevacall #Syria campaign: you have right to fight but not too be a bloody killer. #IHL #armedGroups @MelbLawSchool

#NIAC Warner: anti-#terrorism #laws create difficulty 4 humanitarian work w/#armedGroups #IHL compliance eg #PKK. @genevacall @MelbLawSchool

#NIAC Kleffner: static #IHL provides certainty but tough 4 different #armedGroups 2 apply. Flexible may improve compliance. @MelbLawSchool

Kleffner: #IHL applies to all organised #ArmedGroups. Do we need a differentiated #NIAC regime? @MelbLawSchool http://t.co/Vpq4q7Ukvy

#NIAC Kleffner: organised #armedGroups differ greatly in structure & territorial control, 1 size fits all #law doesn’t work, need nuance.
