On it, he sees a man in civilian clothing digging a hole in the road and emplacing an improvised explosive device (IED). The road is approximately eight kilometers from the FOB and there are no U.S. or coalition soldiers nearby. The soldier notifies his commander, who calls for an attack helicopter. By the time the helicopter arrives, the man has finished emplacing the IED, has mounted his motorcycle, and has traveled three kilometers from the IED site. His actions and movements have been tracked the entire time on camera. The helicopter pilot informs the commander that although there are no collateral damage concerns in the area, the man bears no visible weapons and does not appear to be doing anything threatening. The commander clears the pilot to engage the man with deadly force. The pilot, unsure if this is legal, asks the commander to state the engagement authority on the recorded audio. The commander hesitates.1 * Judge advocate, U.S. Army. Presently assigned as Staff Judge Advocate, I Corps and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.

Their confusion is the result of a legal framework developed for a different kind of warfare. In the context of conventional warfare, where the uniformed army of one nation fights the uniformed army of another, the Law of Armed Conflict2 (LOAC) presumes that civilians can be distinguished from members of an armed force; and are therefore protected even during combat.3 The recent increase in insurgent, asymmetrical and hybrid forms of warfare has challenged this premise.4 As Lieutenant General H.R.

    Komi reindeer herding: the effects of socialist and post-socialist change on mobility and land usepor_108 282..297 Mark J. Dwyer1 & Kirill V.

It was found that compared with those of several decades ago, the migration routes are now much shorter, as the herders have abandoned large areas of winter pastures located in the southernmost part of their herding territory. This “abandonment” phenomenon is endemic amongst reindeer herders generally, throughout the Komi Republic. Whereas the reasons for the abandonment of winter pastures are diverse, they can be attributed mostly to the state sedentarization policy, which has modified the family structures of herders, and the continuing decreases in state subsidies that have changed the balance between state and private ownership of reindeer.

  • Warning Civilians Prior to Attack Under International Law: Theory and Practice
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen XIV Warning Civilians Prior to Attack under International Law: Theory and Practice Pnina Sharvit Baruch and Noam Neuman* primary goal of the modern law of armed conflict (also known as interna- Ational humanitarian law) is to protect civiliansasmuchaspossiblefromthe violent consequences of hostilities. Accordingly, the law of armed conflict requires that the parties to a conflict apply certain precautionary measures in order to mini- mize incidental injury to civilians resulting from military attacks. One of these pre- cautionary measures is the provision of warnings to civilians prior to an attack. This article will deal with this measure, and examine both theoretical and practical aspects of providing advance warnings of attacks. During World War II there were instances when civilians were warned prior to an attack. Advance warnings were also provided during other armed conflicts throughout the second half of the twentieth century; however, the amount, scope and specificity of warnings issued to civilians have dramatically increased in the conflicts fought since the beginning of this century. Probably the most elaborate and systematic warnings were issued by Israel in its conflict in Lebanon in 2006 and * Professor (Colonel, Israel Defense Forces (Ret.)) Pnina Sharvit Baruch, Tel Aviv University School of Law, Israel, and Lieutenant Colonel Noam Neuman, Israel Defense Forces. The opin- ions and conclusions expressed in this article are those of the authors and do not necessarily re- flect the views of the Israel Defense Forces or the government of Israel.

  • A Compassionate Nudge
    A COMPASSIONATE NUDGE THE ANCIENT BUDDHIST PSYCHOLOGY AND PRACTICE OF DEPENDENT ORIGINATION AS A MEANS OF HEALING WAR-RELATED MORAL INJURY King’s College of London Department of Defence Analysis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for a Degree of Master of Fine Arts Word Count: 14982 1 INTRODUCTION: WAR STRIPS YOU OF ALL...BELIEFS War changes you, changes you. Strips you, strips you of all your beliefs, your religion, takes your dignity away, you become an animal.1 - Anonymous veteran The notion of “moral injury” is neither new nor novel. Although the term only re-entered conversation over the past decade, the wound is intrinsic to all war, as the following accounts demonstrate: Doug Anderson served as a U.S. Marine Corp corpsman in Vietnam. On his first day in country he knew that something was terribly wrong. A squad leader beat an old man for no reason other than being Vietnamese. His fellow Marines no longer cared what the war was about or why they were all fighting and dying. Anderson felt that there was no longer a noble cause or strategy, only survival. His first patrol was the beginning of his education. “An immense darkness opened under me” he said.2 “What I saw that day in these men was a kind of soul damage.”3 Chester Nez was a U.S. Marine Navajo Code Talker in the Second World War. After returning home he tried to return to his past self, but his “memories were not peaceful like those of [his] grandparents, father, siblings, and extended family.” 4 Nez later said, “The dead Japanese wouldn’t let me sleep or function normally.
