N2 - This article will explore the ability of international law- particularly international humanitarian law (IHL)-- to protect innocent civilians from harm in the context of the fight against transnational terrorism. To achieve the goal of allowing states to protect their populations from the threat of terrorism, while at the same time respecting the rule of law and the rights of innocent civilians, it is argued that, while IHL must remain applicable only to armed conflicts, it must also evolve so that it clearly applies to "transnational" armed conflicts.
