Ce Colloque, qui s’est tenu les 25 et 26 octobre 2002 avait pour thème celui des acteurs non-étatiques. Le lecteur y trouvera quantité d’informations, d’analyses pertinentes, et de pistes de réflexions, qui susciteront très certainement d’intenses débats et discussions autour de ce thème crucial. Le Colloque de Bruges est, après trois stimulantes éditions, devenu un événe- ment incontournable pour qui s’intéresse au droit international en général, et plus spécifiquement au droit international humanitaire, et souhaite le mettre en perspective dans le cadre des développements des institutions atlantiques et de l’Union européenne et de leurs politiques. Nous nous en réjouissons et désirons poursuivre dans ce sens. Le Collège d’Europe et la Délégation du CICR à Bruxelles organiseront à ce titre un quatrième Colloque annuel les 11 et 12 septembre 2003. Ce Colloque de droit international humanitaire portera sur les possibilités d’améliorer le respect du droit international humanitaire dans les conflits contemporains. Après l’étude des défis qui se posent aujourd’hui à ce droit (Colloque 2000), après l’étude de l’impact du droit humanitaire sur l’évolution des politiques de sécurité (Colloque 2001), après l’étude de la problématique des acteurs non-éta- tiques, à laquelle sont consacrés ces Actes du Colloque 2002, il s’agira, en 2003, de discuter de la mise en oeuvre du droit, de son aspect opérationnel. Car en 5 BinnenColl27vrPDF 16-06-2003 14:44 Pagina 6 effet, ne l’oublions pas, le droit humanitaire est un droit à vocation opéra- tionnelle, un droit qui vise activement à assister et à protéger les victimes, civiles et militaires, des conflits armés. Nous vous souhaitons une stimulante lecture de cet ouvrage, et nous réjouissons de vous retrouver à Bruges, les 11 et 12 septembre 2003 prochains, pour le qua- trième Colloque de Bruges en Droit international humanitaire. Dr Marc Vuijlsteke Thierry Germond Directeur DG Développement Chef de Délégation Collège d’Europe CICR Bruxelles 6 BinnenColl27vrPDF 16-06-2003 14:44 Pagina 7 Collegium, No.27, Spring 2003 Avant-propos: discours d’ouverture du Professeur Paul Demaret Directeur des Etudes Juridiques, Collège d’Europe Au nom du Collège d’Europe et au nom du Recteur, le Professeur Robert Picht, qui ne peut être parmi nous ce jour, je voudrais vous souhaiter très chaleureuse- ment la bienvenue à vous tous qui participez aujourd’hui et demain au troisième Colloque organisé par le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) en collaboration avec le Collège d’Europe. Trois colloques qui ont eu et auront pour thème l’application du droit interna- tional humanitaire aux conflits armés dans le monde d’aujourd’hui. Le premier colloque, organisé en 2000, avait pour thème ”current challenges in interna- tional humanitarian law”. Le second, organisé en 2001, portait sur ”the impact of international humanitarian law on current security policy trends”. Le présent colloque a pour sujet ”the relevance of international humanitarian law to non- state actors”. Il s’agit d’un thème éminemment pertinent au vu des formes de conflits armés que notre monde malheureusement connaît aujourd’hui et au vu de l’actualité la plus immédiate – je me réfère aux évènements en cours à Moscou. Vous allez discuter la façon dont le droit international humanitaire pourrait être appliqué dans le cadre d’opérations de sécurité collective et d’opérations mili- taires visant des groupes terroristes. Symétriquement, vous allez examiner une question d’une particulière difficulté: la façon dont des acteurs non-étatiques impliqués dans des formes de conflits armés pourraient être amenés à respecter eux-mêmes le droit international humanitaire. Le Collège d’Europe est très honoré d’accueillir des manifestations telles que celle-ci, portant sur la mise en oeuvre du droit international humanitaire. 7 BinnenColl27vrPDF 16-06-2003 14:44 Pagina 8 Le Collège se félicite de la collaboration qu’il a nouée avec le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) et, en ce qui concerne le Collège d’Europe, je voudrais distinguer ici la personne qui a joué un rôle essentiel dans le développement de cette collaboration avec le CICR, à savoir le Docteur Marc Vuijlsteke, Directeur Général du Développement, qui nous rejoindra dans un instant, et je voudrais le féliciter à l’égal des représentants du CICR. En tant que représentant du Collège d’Europe, et comme j’espère qu’une collaboration entre le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) et le Collège d’Europe se poursuivra, permettez-moi de présenter brièvement le Collège d’Europe. Il s’agit d’une institution qui existe depuis plus d’un demi- siècle et son histoire est liée étroitement au développement de la construction européenne. Le Collège a été fondé en 1949, dans la foulée du Congrès de La Haye, c’est-à-dire avant même la création des Communautés européennes. Son objectif premier était de permettre à de jeunes européens de diverses nationalités de réfléchir ensemble à la nouvelle Europe émergeant des suites de la deuxième guerre mondiale, d’étudier cette Europe en voie de transformation, de se préparer à y jouer un rôle et au-delà, modestement, de favoriser la paix et son maintien entre les nations européennes. Les études européennes à Bruges, d’abord de caractère fort général, se sont ensuite spécialisées, à mesure que la construction européenne prenait des aspects plus concrets et plus techniques. Aujourd’hui le campus de Bruges compte environ trois cent étudiants de plus de quarante nationalités différentes. Ces étudiants se répartissent en trois programmes axés sur l’Union européenne (UE): programme de droit, programme d’économie, programme de sciences politiques. Le corps professoral est lui-même composé de plus d’une centaine de professeurs visiteurs de diverses origines et venant de toute l’Europe et d’au- delà.

  • Palestine/Israel: Making Monitoring Work: (Re-) Enforcing International Law in Europe
    Palestine/Israel: Making Monitoring Work: (Re-) Enforcing International Law in Europe A CONFERENCE BRINGING TOGETHER PALESTINIAN, ISRAELI, AND EUROPEAN HUMAN RIGHTS NGOS AND LAWYERS. Conference Report HOSTED BY THE CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC LAW & GOVERNANCE, FREE UNIVERSITY BRUSSELS FOREWORD International humanitarian law risks becoming a ‘dead letter’ unless transgression of its principles is met with a response that does justice to the harm suffered by its victims. The idea of this conference, held in September 2008 in Brussels, Belgium, stems from regular meetings between Diakonia and local Israeli and Palestinian Human Rights organisations, whose fieldworkers tirelessly record and document the daily human rights and IHL violations. Our mission thus far had been to support the monitoring process by providing training on documentation methods, and guidance on interviewing, evidence preservation, storage and archiving. However, we were con- stantly asked the question: what is the use? What is the use of gathering all this information and document every aspect of violations if reports only end up gathering dusts in archives and folders? This is not an effective way of increasing the respect for IHL and it triggers the pivotal question - how can we make monitoring work? Effective enforcement of international humanitarian law in the context of Israel/Palestine requires a readiness on part of civil society organisations and public opinion makers to support legal enforcement actions. Civil society organisations also play a vital role in educating the public on both the violations committed, and the need to bring perpetrators from Israel/Palestine, as well as their accomplices in Europe, to national or international justice.

  • Body Counts and Masking Wartime Violence
    journal of international humanitarian legal studies 6 (2015) 443-461 brill.com/ihls Body Counts and Masking Wartime Violence Liesbeth Zegveld Lawyer at Prakken d’Oliveira human rights lawyers, Amsterdam, Professor of War Reparations, Director of the War Reparations Centre, University of Amsterdam [email protected] Abstract This Article is the transcript of the Peace Lecture held by Prof. Zegveld as part of the Peace Week 2013. It criticises the fact that Western countries do not provide data on the numbers of civilian casualties their wars cause. It remains controversial whether this is the consequence of a choice ‘not to do body counts’, or whether the govern- ments does not want these figures to be revealed. In any case, the absence of this data leads to a de facto denial of the existence of these victims. This is reflected by the dif- ficulties encountered when accountability and compensation are sought. It is argued here that there is a legal obligation to register victim casualties, as well as a necessity to do so from democratic, military and moral perspectives. For, as a component of conflict in itself, we can only truly evaluate our wars when the victim casualties are known. Keywords civilians – war – body-count – casualties – Peace Lecture Civilians in Times of War Circumstances are not well for civilians in a war zone. And this does not just apply to non-combatants in African countries where genocide takes place or where people are scarred for life with machetes; it also applies to civilians who are faced with our Western armies.
