Overview

Analysis uncovers how social media complicates IHL compliance in armed conflict, suggesting significant risks for civilians.

Key Points

  • Social media complicates compliance with IHL principles, blurring lines between combatants and civilians.
  • Misinformation and propaganda propagated through social media fuel violence and incite IHL violations.
  • State and non-state actors exploit social media for recruitment and intelligence, often breaching IHL obligations.
  • While social media can document abuses, it risks retaliation and presents challenges for accountability.
