Abstract

In explaining applicable law in cases where a foreign government is being persecuted against a non-governmental organization based in another country, the ICC, in its first vote, has argued that an armed conflict between an occupant power and a non-governmental organization in the occupied territories are considered a non-international armed conflict, and the international armed conflict is essentially occurring between the two governments. But according to the theory that we are discussing in this paper, such a conflict is considered as an international armed conflict and the provisions of this type of conflict will be enforced. The benefit of such an interpretation is more support for those involved persons.
