International armed conflict occurring between states which was not begun by one of them making a formal declaration of intent to wage war. Since the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 such declarations have gone entirely out of fashion. However, in the popular sense of the term wars continue. Moreover, the laws of war (now known as international humanitarian law) continue to be applicable to such armed conflicts.
Non-international armed conflict within the territory of a state between its armed forces and other armed and well-organized groups; that is, an internal conflict (or civil war) which takes on many of the military characteristics of international armed conflict. In such conflicts the relevant parts of the laws of war are applicable. |
