Concurrent Applicability of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law
This chapter examines the relationship between human rights law and humanitarian law in the context of extraterritorial force against non-state actors. The concurrent applicability of the two legal frameworks is established, and obstacles to parallel applicability in practice are examined. The two frameworks are compared on the issues of rules on use of force, in particular in the resort to lethal force.
