| Abstract: |
Through a rich examination of the practice of non-state armed groups and careful analysis of legal developments in international humanitarian and human rights law, Ezequiel Heffes provides valuable insight into the protective role of international law for persons detained by non-state armed groups.
The author challenges the traditional state-centrism of international law to tackle a practice often overlooked, complex to explain, and challenging to analyse. With a perspective rooted in legal pluralism, supported by extensive interdisciplinary research, and grounded in case studies of several armed groups, he offers a sharp, clear, and compelling analysis that changes our understanding of non-state detention in warzones. |
