ON THE ISSUE OF THE TREATMENT OF DETAINEES IN NON-INTERNATIONAL ARMED CONFLICTS

Аннотация:

The article examines two terms “detention” and “detainees” and subsequently concentrates on the issues of the treatment of the detainees during non-international armed conflicts. Since combatant status and prisoner-of-war status of belligerents play a huge role in application of sources of international law, the article analyzes whether the aforementioned statuses exist in non-international conflicts. Ultimately, fundamental guarantees endowed by international law to the detainees of non-international conflicts are scrutinized.
