DESCRIPTION:We are happy to mark the publication of Professor René Provost'
 s newest book\, 'Rebel Courts: the Administration of Justice by Armed Insu
 rgents' (OUP\, July 2021) by holding a book launch event.\n\nFrom the book
  jacket\n\nWarzones are sometimes described as lawless\, but this is rarel
 y the case. Armed insurgents often replace the state as the provider of la
 w and justice in areas under their authority. Based on extensive fieldwork
 \, Rebel Courts offers a compelling and unique insight into the judicial g
 overnance of armed groups\, a phenomenon never studied comprehensively unt
 il now.\n	\n	Using a series of detailed case studies of non-state armed grou
 ps in a diverse range of conflict situations\, including the FARC (Colombi
 a)\, Islamic State (Syria and Iraq)\, Taliban (Afghanistan)\, Tamil Tigers
  (Sri Lanka)\, PKK (Turkey)\, PYD (Syria)\, and KRG (Iraq)\, Rebel Courts 
 argues that it is possible for non-state armed groups to legally establish
  and operate a system of courts to administer justice. Rules of public int
 ernational law that regulate the conduct of war can be interpreted as auth
 orising the establishment of rebel courts by armed groups. When operating 
 in a manner consistent with due process\, rebel courts demand a certain de
 gree of recognition by international states\, institutions\, and even othe
 r non-state armed groups.\n	\n	With legal analysis enriched by insights from
  other disciplines\, Rebel Courts is a must read for all scholars and prof
 essionals interested in law\, justice\, and the effectiveness of global le
 gal standards in situations of armed conflict.\n
