Order ID: 89JHGSJE83839 Style: APA/MLA/Harvard/Chicago Pages: 5-10 Instructions:
. (Document A, paras. 1, 4, 5, 9; Document B, paras. 4, 6) According to the facts of the case, how would you classify the situation in Somalia? Would it qualify as an armed conflict? Under Article 3 common to the Geneva Convention? Under Protocol II, if Somalia was party to it? What additional information would you need to make such a determination? If it was an armed conflict, who are parties to the conflict? (GC I-IV, Art. 3; P II, Art. 1)
2. (Document A, paras. 1, 5) Is a declaration of war by armed groups against each other sufficient to trigger application of IHL? (ICTY, The Prosecutor v. Tadi?)
3. (Document A, paras. 3, 6, 7) Overall,was the intensity of violence and organization of the groups (al-Shabab and ISS) sufficient to make IHL applicable in this case?
4. (Document A, para. 3, 5) If the situation in Somalia between the ISS and al-Shabab was qualified as NIAC, could the Somali government try members of the two fighting groups for engaging in violence against each other?
5. (Document B, paras. 1, 3, 5; Document C, paras. 1,3, 4) Does IHL apply to the Nairobi attack by al-Shabaab? Why? If there was no link between the attack and the NIAC in Somalia, can such an attack trigger a NIAC in Kenya? What if such a link existed? Is in that case IHL of NIACs also applicable in other countries? Only in neighbouring countries? Was the intensity of violence in the Nairobi attack sufficient to apply IHL? May the intensity in Kenya added to that in Somalia? If it was qualified as an armed conflict, would Kenya be party to the conflict in such situation? Even if al-Shabaabs motivation was to undermine ISS?
6. (Document B; Document C) Would the involvement of the Kenya Defence Force in neutralizing the attack affect the classification of the situation? (GC I-IV, Art. 3)
