A status sometimes accorded by third parties under the traditional law of war to an insurgent group which, while not in a sufficiently strong position to justify recognition of its belligerency, is nonetheless in effective occupation of and constitutes the de facto authority in a large part of the territory of the state in question. For a recognizing third party, the grant of insurgency may be a prerequisite for the protection of its interests in the territory which the insurgents control, as it is a means of establishing formal communication with them. In the second half of the twentieth century the recognition of insurgency went out of fashion, reflecting the lessened formality of the times and their greater hostility to anything which might undermine the territorial integrity of existing states. |
