abstract = "The present article provides legal analysis of the concept of ‘protracted armed
violence’ which is part of the commonly accepted definition of non-international
armed conflict (NIAC). The International Criminal Tribunal for former
Yugoslavia interpreted this notion as the intensity requirement. However, the
practice of other international legal institutions that use this concept (such as
International Criminal Court and some other judicial institutions) is not always
coherent with this finding. This fact raised several theoretical and practical issues
in the process of interpretation and implementation of international legal norms.
Therefore, the aim of the article is to critically reassess the ‘protracted armed
violence’ concept in various branches of international law and to contribute to
the better understanding of the NIAC phenomenon.",
