The Changing Relevance of The Customary Law in The Development of International Humanitarian Law

Since the implementation of the Geneva Conventions, International Humanitarian Law has remained a critical aspect of International Law and has redefined the way the world conducts warfare and perceives armed conflict. The line between what constitutes internal affairs with domestic jurisdiction and that which meets the threshold of armed conflict has continued to shrink. However, treaty law and customary law relating to International Humanitarian Law are currently undergoing a period of significant transformation.
