17.18.3 States’ Support to Other States in Hostilities Against Non-State Armed Groups.International law does not prohibit States from assisting other States in their armed conflictsagainst non-State armed groups. To the extent those States intend to conduct hostilities oractually do so, they may incur obligations under the law of war. 217 For example, a State that isconducting detention operations would have obligations to treat detainees (e.g., personsbelonging to non-State armed groups) humanely regardless of whether it considers itself a partyto the non-international armed conflict.17.18.4 Liability of Private Individuals for Supporting Non-State Armed Groups. Privateindividuals who support non-State armed groups that are preparing for, or engaged in, hostilitiesagainst a State may be subject to prosecution. Such conduct may be criminalized under a varietyof domestic laws relating to treason, hostile expeditions against other States, material support toterrorism, or piracy. 218The State that is threatened by such activities may prosecute such individuals for treasonor other offenses against the State.States in which such conduct occurs may seek to prosecute such conduct for a variety ofreasons, including its duties under international law to refrain from materially supportinghostilities against another State, and to repress terrorism or piracy.217 Refer to § 3.4 (When Jus in Bello Rules Apply).218 Refer to § 4.18.5 (Private Persons Who Engage in Hostilities and the Law of War).1051
