Al Hassan Symposium – International Human Rights Law, Nexus and Non-State Armed Groups: Still a Mystery

The following post by Ezequiel Heffes focuses on a critical issue raised in the Al Hassan judgment that has not received much attention in recent debates related to the case: the possible application of international human rights law to non-State armed groups and the approach the Trial Chamber offered with respect to the definition of nexus in NIACs. The post was published on the Armed Groups and International Law as part of the joint Articles of War and AGIL Al Hassan Symposium.
