Abstract
The present study aims to reflect the effect of International Humanitarian Law on non-state actors. The effect of International Humanitarian Law on non-state actor seems to be minimal, causing a rise in civilian deaths and injury. This study presents an overview of International Humanitarian Law, the purpose and effects of such on state actors, and recent research on International Humanitarian Law and non-state actors. Following will be an analysis of civilian deaths (dependent variable) and various independent variables as they relate to region, type of conflict, and incompatibility.
