Following the widespread participation of United Nations ( UN ) forces in hostile environments, this article aims to expand the obligations of the UN under International Humanitarian Law. The article argues that Additional Protocol II ( AP II ) to the Geneva Conventions can bind UN forces, even though the UN is not formally a party thereto. The argument is built on three distinct legal issues: the first issue is whether the UN ’s involvement in a conflict internationalizes a non-international armed conflict; the second issue is the legal nature of the UN ’s obligations under AP II , which will be explained through two legal theories of indirect consent; and the third issue is the conformity of UN forces to the criteria of an armed group outlined in AP II . The article concludes that if UN forces meet certain conditions, as will be outlined herein, they should be bound by the provisions contained in AP II .
