ABSTRACT
Since the is suance of the Geneva Conve ntions in 1949 there has been a
latent confu sion in States u ndergoing inter nal violence sit uations relate d
to whether or not non-i nternational a rmed con icts exist i n their nationa l
territor ies, given that n either Artic le 3, common to the Convent ions, nor
the Additional P rotocol II of 1977, dene what a coni ct is. Thus, thi s re-
search doc ument aims to c larify th is matter by mean s of an analysis of the
law, case law, and curre nt legal principl es, dening what t he application
margin is for th e International Hum anitarian Law to non- international
armed co nicts. Af terwards, we a im to clari fy another comm on question:
Does Inter national Human itarian Law apply exc lusively to Party St ates,
or does it also appl y directly to non-s tate agents? Finally, thi s document
aims to br iey propose a plausibl e solution to the problem rega rding the
confusio n created by the la ck of a clear den ition of armed co nict. Said
issue clea rly harms the protec tion that during con icts must be give n at
all time s to hors de combat or protect ed population.
