Instead, non-international armed conflicts (NIACs)-conflicts between States and organized non-State belligerent groups, or even between multiple non-State belligerent groups-have been notorious for their brutality, indifference towards humanitarian restraint, and infliction of human suffering. Ironically, however, the “type” of conflict most comprehensively regulated by this law-international or inter-State (IACs)-is not the “type” of armed conflict that has been most notable for producing humanitarian suffering since the end of World War II. International Humanitarian Law (IHL) evolved to strike a rational balance between the necessity of using combat power to defeat enemy opponents, and the humanitarian interest of mitigating the human suffering resulting from armed conflict.
