In Civilian or Combatant?: A Challenge for the 21st Century, Anicée Van Engeland analyzes claims that international humanitarian law has been stretched to the extremes and cannot respond to the major challenges that the world faces, in particular, when it comes to the distinction between civilians and combatants. Van Engeland responds to these claims by demonstrating that international humanitarian law was developed to protect civilians and combatants hors de combat. Van Engeland reviews case studies to illustrate and explain why the distinction between civilians and combatants is not only valid, but extremely relevant to today's challenges.
