The application of Jus in Bello to indiscriminate attacks in non-international armed conflicts

This thesis examines the prohibition of indiscriminate attacks in non-international armed conflicts. The world has seen an increase in the number of armed conflicts that are not of an international character. Most of these conflicts have proven to be very destructive and detrimental to persons not taking part in the hostilities. Having in mind the fact that International Humanitarian Law seeks to protect persons not taking part in armed conflicts, this thesis is an appraisal of whether International Humanitarian Law prohibits indiscriminate attacks in non-international armed conflicts.
