    Classical and Political Humanitarianisms in an Era of Military Interventionism and the War on Terror Ambiguity, Prescription, Jus in Bello and Jus Ad Bellum

    journal of international humanitarian legal studies 8 (2017) 33-112 brill.com/ihls Classical and Political Humanitarianisms in an Era of Military Interventionism and the War on Terror Ambiguity, Prescription, Jus in Bello and Jus ad Bellum Matthew Bywater London School of Economics and Political Science graduate [email protected] Abstract This paper scrutinises the modus operandi of classical and political humanitarianism: the use of ambiguity and prescription to frame calls for international action to protect civilians, and public commentary on jus in bello and jus ad bellum. It does so by in- novatively considering the perspectives of belligerents alongside those of humanitar- ian actors, so as to identify how belligerents have responded to the two humanitarian modus operandi, and to ascertain the connection of humanitarian actors to the wars and international military interventions that they have implicitly or explicitly called for or endorsed. The paper finds that the response of belligerents differs from what both classical and political humanitarians expect. Even where humanitarians maintain am- biguity, the intention to will military action remains present and even the documenta- tion and reporting of violence will bolster military intervention. Such consequences will be perceptible to belligerents, who may restrict humanitarian space. When hu- manitarians advance jus ad bellum perspectives, the humanitarian identity envisioned by classicists is not necessarily compromised. But belligerents are positively influenced by such perspectives only when those perspectives coincide with their own position. Keywords humanitarianism – humanitarian action – military intervention – war – témoignage – speaking out – advocacy – perceptions – belligerents The historical period since the end of the Cold War has been a particularly tumultuous one for the humanitarian community.
  • Address by the Minister of Energy, Ms. Dipuo Peters, MP AEG Solar

    Address by the Minister of Energy, Ms. Dipuo Peters, MP AEG Solar

    1 Address by the Minister of Energy, Ms. Dipuo Peters, MP AEG Solar Factory Launch, Cape Town 20 September 2012 Time: 16h50 Programme Director; Premier of Western Cape Province, Honourable Helen Zille, Leadership of the Western Cape Provincial government; Members of the Western Cape Legislature; Managing Director, CEO, COO and staff of AEG Power Solutions; Distinguished Guests, Members of the media; Ladies and Gentlemen, It is my pleasure to address you on the launch of the AEG Solar Factory in South Africa. Thank you for the kind invitation to share this special day with you. The establishment of a manufacturing facility in this area and South Africa in particular will help us to reduce our dependency on imports and create jobs as envisaged in our policy documents. Let me at the onset commend AEG Power Solutions on this bold step that you have taken. 2 Your initiative augurs very well with government’s policy commitment on localization, and in fact, for us to create the number of jobs as anticipated, we need to localize most of these technologies. In June 2012, the Department of Energy (DoE) together with the Department of Science and Technology (DST) with the help of the International Energy Agency (IEA) convened a national workshop with all relevant stakeholders in government, academia, state owned entities, research institutions to deliberate and formalise the plans on Solar Technology Road map. We have also recently formally launched the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI) which in essence, is responsible for enabling and implementing the energy technology roadmap which supports the long-term policies developed by the DoE.
