„Testing the boundaries of Tadic: Assessing the intensity of violence through an aggregated approach in complex conflict settings“
The applicability of IHL in complex conflict settings where armed groups are operating side by side calls for a departure from the traditional bilateral intensity assessment approach, instead the intensity criterion should be considered on a collective basis. My contribution sets out to determine the grounds for establishing if the Tadic formula restricts the method of assessing the notion of intensity to the bilateral approach. I examine judicial practice in support of adopting that approach as well as scholarly speculation which establishes the suggested content if adopting an aggregated assessment approach.
