• W13768585 abstract "The prevailing view in the legal literature on the fight against terrorism is that the current structure of international law – the law enforcement/armed conflict dichotomy – is ill-suited to address large-scale hostilities between a state and a terrorist organization. The law enforcement model is governed by international human rights law. The armed conflict model is primarily governed by the law of war. Human rights law, it is argued, allows states too little in their struggle against terrorist organizations while the law of war allows them too much. Hence, many advocate the development of a new body of law, a normative middle ground between the law of war and human rights law, applicable to armed conflicts between a state and a terrorist entity. According to this approach, large-scale hostilities between a state and a terrorist organization are considered armed conflict. Yet the application of the law of war to such conflicts is qualified by the principles of international human rights law. The interaction between the law of war and human rights law produces a new, distinct set of norms. The permission to use lethal force afforded to a state under these norms is broader than the one afforded to it under human rights law yet narrower than the one available to the state under the law of war. This article rejects the normative middle ground approach and defends the traditional law enforcement/armed conflict dichotomy. It advances a very high threshold for the existence of armed conflict, arguing that only hostilities that border on full-scale war amount to an armed conflict. Within the sphere of armed conflict, properly constructed, the law of war does not allow states too much. On the contrary, it offers the best bargain from a humanitarian perspective, and therefore its application should not be qualified. This article further argues that grave, large-scale violence that falls short of a full-scale war is governed exclusively by human rights law. This argument is tenable provided that human rights law presents realistic standards of conduct for states in the face of such violence. The author argues that it does. The liberties to exercise lethal force required in order to contain grave, large-scale violence are, and should be, available to a state under human rights law. In the course of this inquiry, the author addresses two questions concerning the scope of permission to kill suspected terrorists afforded to a state under human rights law: 1. When is the threat sufficiently proximate to justify the use of lethal force against the suspected terrorist? 2. Can a state engage in counter-terrorism operations that are likely to result in the unintentional killing of innocent persons?" @default.
