“…En 1949, los Estados decidieron que las entidades no estatales no podrían ser parte de los Convenios de Ginebra. Sin embargo, hoy se acepta que el artículo 3 común es vinculante para los grupos armados no estatales, como derecho convencional y como derecho consuetudinario (Murray, 2015).…”

Este artículo analiza los parámetros y principios para el uso de la fuerza legítima del Estado en escenarios urbanos en Colombia, ante la amenaza híbrida actual. Con base en una investigación cualitativa con enfoque empírico, primero, se ilustra la naturaleza de la amenaza híbrida en Colombia. Luego se examina el fundamento doctrinal para emplear la fuerza de los cuerpos de seguridad en el conflicto colombiano. Posteriormente se analizan los principios del derecho internacional humanitario para conducir hostilidades en escenarios urbanos, con observancia a los ecosistemas criminales. Finalmente se desarrollan los principios de necesidad y proporcionalidad, entre otros, en otras situaciones de violencia. Se concluye que hay principios clave, pero aún no suficientes, para orientar el uso de la fuerza en escenarios urbanos de Colombia.

“…Before World War II, the states had power concerning international law, and international law was exclusively vested upon them. 121 After the War and enactment of the Geneva Conventions, 1949 gave a new dimension of the matter. 122 Not only the state but also the international organization come under the purview of international law.…”

The wings of terror of ISIS has started since 2014. By 2019, ISIS the terrorist organization, spreading its wings over Syria, Iraq, and many other states around the world causing the death of thousands. The suffering due to acts of terrorism is innumerable. The conflict in Syria has reached a threshold that triggered the application of the Geneva Conventions and its Additional Protocols. ISIS is violating the International Humanitarian Law in every phase of its operation. Though ISIS is not a party to the aforesaid Conventions, the rules of IHL apply to it. This paper has envisaged the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic and the classification of the armed conflicts. In addition, it has shown the origin of ISIS and their terrorist attacks during the last five years and how the parties in the conflicts including ISIS have responsibilities under the IHL. In doing so, the paper has relied on existing scholarly articles, books, newspaper reports as well as other international instruments.

“…International law, because of the nature of international society, is not as rigid as domestic law. Certainly international law can possess all the same binding characteristics as any domestic law or inter‐party agreement; but there is scope for a greater range of arrangements affecting states, international organizations, non‐state actors and even individuals – given that the GCR applies to the “international community as a whole” and benefits refugees and hosting populations, one ought to expect a more flexible understanding of its international legal character (Cassese, ; Sivakumaran, ; Roberts and Sivakumaran, ; Murray, ).…”

The Global Compact on Refugees is not legally binding, but it gives rise to commitments by the international community as a whole. It is also rooted in international refugee law, international human rights law and international humanitarian law. This article addresses how the GCR cannot give rise to binding obligations in international law, yet provide for enhanced protection and assistance to refugees and hosting communities, and establish commitments for a fairer and more predictable sharing of burdens and responsibilities. It does this by reference to other non‐legally binding international documents and rules of law. Additionally, the use of indicators to measure states’ and other international actors’ performance in operationalizing the GCR provides a framework to measure commitments; coupled with greater humanitarian and development co‐operation, commitments can be better facilitated even if the GCR is not legally binding. Finally, the sharing of burdens and responsibilities is also fulfilled by the emphasis on solutions.
