The present book deals with the conduct of hostilities governed by the law of international armed conflict (LOIAC). The threshold of an international armed conflict (IAC) is crossed automatically once two or more States wage hostilities against each other, irrespective of the intensity or the length of the fighting.1 As the Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) pronounced in the Tadić case, ‘an armed conflict exists whenever there is resort to armed force between States’.2 Depending on their scale, IAC hostilities may make the grade of a full-fledged war or they may amount to a ‘short of war’ clash of arms (namely, constitute a mere incident), but either way the military engagement between two or more States invites the application of LOIAC.
