  • Operation "Protective Edge"
    Operation "Protective Edge" IDF Activity from the Perspective of International Law, Particularly with Regard to Mechanisms of Examination and Oversight of Civilian and Military Echelons Public Report IDF Activity from the Perspective of International Law | 3 Summary General Background 1. The modern battlefield presents many operational challenges, some of which are affected by the fact that civilians who do not take a direct part in hostilities 1 (hereinafter - uninvolved civilians) in the combat zones and therefore could be harmed due to IDF combat operations in these sectors. International law regulating the use of force consists two sets of laws: jus ad bellum ('law of war'), which determine when a state may use force, and jus in bello, ('law in war') also referred to as "the Law of Armed Conflict" or "international humanitarian law" which determine the international legal regime governing the use of force during an armed conflict, and regulate the duties, rights and defenses of states and individuals involved in or affected by an armed conflict. In addition to international humanitarian law, there are other branches of law that relate to the obligation to examine and investigate violations of international humanitarian law principles (see more below2). One of them is international criminal law, which states that the domestic judicial system has precedence over an extraterritorial judicial system in adjudicating international law violations. This is based on two principles: the "principle of complementarity"3, according to which the authority of an international jurisdiction will be exercised as a last resort when states are unwilling or unable to exercise their duty to investigate and prosecute; and the "principle of subsidiarity", according to which a jurisdiction with territorial or national affiliation has precedence over an international jurisdiction, which has subsidiary responsibility.

Based on the wildly theatrical best-selling novels by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan boy becomes the legendary Peter Pan. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair...and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain’s cabin, which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk’s precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands.
