Common Article 3 to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and Article 1 of 1977 Additional Protocol II to the 1949 Geneva Conventions apply to non-international armed conflicts, or conflicts taking place within the territory of a single state. According to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in the Tadic case, two conditions must be met for an outbreak of violence inside a country to rise to the level of a non-international armed conflict. Non-state armed groups must carry out protracted hostilities, and these groups must be organised. However there is no settled definition of “armed conflict” in international law.
