• W240574852 abstract "The thesis examines the contemporary conflict in the Central African Republic and its neighbouring countries, in particular the region comprising north-eastern Central African Republic, eastern Chad and western Sudan (the CCS-region). Having caused numerous civilian casualties and left countless societies entirely ruined, the conflict is one of major concern for the international community. The conflict is generally considered to be governed by the humanitarian legal framework of non-international armed conflict. It is however argued in the thesis that by categorizing the situation as a purely internal conflict intrinsic characteristics of the situation are ignored.Categorizing hostilities in terms of international humanitarian law necessitates an analysis of the actors involved in the conflict and the geographical scope of the same. Chapter 2 outlines the fundamental humanitarian framework and emphasizes that the application of humanitarian norms requires certain presuppositions; distinguishable armed forces and confined territories.Chapter 3 addresses the historical background to and practical context in which the conflict takes place. A result of European colonization of the CCS-region in the early 20th century was national coherency of the three states in theory, but fragmented communality in practice. All three states suffer from prolonged hostilities and it is argued that the CCS-region presents an intertwined and regionalized conflict embracing territories and actors from all three states. It is emphasized that the regionalized context in which the conflict takes place is difficultly compatible with the context required for correct application of humanitarian norms as both the requirement of distinguishable armed forces and the requirement of confined territories are essentially missing. By pinpointing that the conflict can neither be characterized as an international armed conflict, nor be easily accommodated within the framework regulating non-international armed conflicts, the chapter enlightens that characterizing the conflict and subsuming it under the international humanitarian framework is a challenging undertaking. The thesis finds that the conflict occurring in the CCS-region constitutes a from previously recognized conflict-typology distinguished type of conflict: a post-colonial regionalized conflict, difficultly compatible with the contemporary humanitarian framework.From the finding that the conflict constitutes a regionalized conflict it becomes extraordinarily difficult to distinguish who are and who aren’t the legitimate holders of the exclusive right to use violence and coercion within the states. It becomes difficult to hold persons and groups accountable for misconduct and potential war crimes, when simply characterizing the persons and groups involved in hostilities is in the nearest impossible. As a deplorable consequence it is found that severe crimes against the civilian population may not only go unpunished, but continue as it appears unclear who should, and has the exclusive right, to put an end to the violence." @default.
