Annette Idler writes the introduction to a special edition of the International Political Science Review on change in armed conflict.

Article by Federica D’Alessandra and Ross James Gildeaon in Global Responsibility to Protect on how rapid developments in digital and cyber technology shape our understanding of the Responsibility to Protect. The Responsibility to Protect – known as R2P – is an international norm that seeks to ensure that the international community never again fails to halt genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity. It states that not only must states protect their own populations from these atrocities, but that if any state is "manifestly failing" in its protection responsibilities, then other states should take collective action to protect the population. 

Article by Federica D’Alessandra in the Journal of International Criminal Justice reviewing the revolution in the way documentation of international crimes by civil society (for example NGOs) has been used in international criminal justice. Evidence of crimes taken by NGOs on the ground has moved from the margins of judicial proceedings to the very heart of accountability for international crimes.
