| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The law of armed conflict has often been described as outdated and ill suited to military conflict in the twenty-first century. Both academics and practitioners have argued that today`s wars tend to be asymmetric conflict between states and nonstate actors, whereas the law of armed conflict was made with a view to symmetrical interstates war. This article challenges that notion. |
