The era of civil war may be over, but in the past few decades it has broken out frequently around the world, in the Balkans, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Syria... Civil war is gradually becoming a widespread, destructive and unique form of organized armed violence in mankind. How to define these forms of violence affects all aspects of politics, military, economic and humanitarian assistance, international law legislation and enforcement, and even affects the entire world pattern and the destiny of global mankind. As the author puts it: "Today's times require us to look squarely on the Civil War."
