Vietnamkriget – Ett Rättfärdigt Krig? En Normativ Studie Om USA:S Krigsföring I Vietnamkriget
Lunds Universitet STVA21 Statsvetenskapliga institutionen HT10 Handledare: Anna Sundell Vietnamkriget – ett rättfärdigt krig? En normativ studie om USA:s krigsföring i Vietnamkriget Malin Christiansen Susanna Olsson Alvebro Abstract Vietnamkriget är ett omdebatterat krig. Det som framförallt har diskuterats är USA:s krigsföring. Uppsatsen behandlar huruvida USA:s krigsföring i Vietnam kan rättfärdigas eller inte utifrån Walzers Just War Theory med fokus på Jus in Bello. Jus in Bello behandlar två olika kriterier. Det första är om de medel som används är i proportion till de mål man har (Proportionalitetsprincipen). Det andra är hur icke-stridande ska behandlas i strid (Diskriminering av icke-stridande). För att vi skulle kunna komma fram till en slutsats om det går att rättfärdiga USA:s krigsföring har vi valt att välja ut tre betydande operationer; Operation Rolling Thunder, Operation Crimp och Operation Linebacker II. Alla dessa bedrevs av USA. Då vi har analyserat dessa operationer som bedrevs utifrån de två kriterierna inom Jus in Bello har det visat på en orättfärdig krigsföring i samtliga fall. Vi har kommit fram till detta genom att vi vägt de olika argumenten mot varandra och operationerna har inte uppfyllt något av kriterierna inom Jus in Bello. Nyckelord: Vietnamkriget, Operation Rolling Thunder, Operation Crimp, Operation Linebacker II, Jus in Bello, rättfärdigt krig, proportionalitetsprincipen, diskriminering av icke-stridande Antal ord: 9939 Innehållsförteckning Abstract...................................................................................................................2 -

Inledning Den 22.9.1944, alltså några veckor efter vapenstilleståndsavtalet mellan Finland och Sovjetunionen, som trädde ikraft den 4.9.1944, anlände tre finländska fartyg till Härnösand och ett till Gävle hamn i Sverige. Fartygen var lastade med personal från den finska militära underrättelsetjänsten och medföljande teknisk material samt arkiv med värdefulla chiffer och koder. Enligt vissa beräkningar, skulle det ha varit frågan om över 1000 personer, men 700-800 verkar vara en troligare siffra. Dessa händelser, som kom som en total överraskning för den lokala befolkningen och även för de flesta av de svenska beslutsfattarna, gick under benämningen operation Stella Polaris. -
A Brief History of the FRA
A Brief History of the FRA From Morse to Cyber Defence Fredrik Wallin A Brief History of the FRA FROM MORSE TO CYBER DEFENCE Fredrik Wallin THIS PUBLICATION IS A COMPILATION OF THE HISTORY OF THE FRA ON THE OCCASION OF THE 75TH ANNIVERSARY 2017, AND IS MAINLY BASED ON HISTORICAL WORKS COVERING THE FRA BY JAN-OLOF GRAHN, MICHAEL FREDHOLM, ANDERS WIK AND SAM NILSSON. COPYRIGHT FRA 2018 COVER The present meets the past ORIGINAL/LAYOUT Peo Werngren, FRA, 2018 DESIGN . Nowa Kommunikation, Göteborg What is signals intelligence? Signals intelligence is the art of extracting information (intelligence) from electronic signals. Signals intelligence has existed since the mid 19th century with the advent of telegraphic communications, and from the beginning of the 20th century concerning radio. The first step in signals intelligence is intercepting the interesting signals, usually in radio or cable transmissions. When the signal is col- lected, it often has to be processed to extract information, for example by translation, codebreaking or traffic analysis. Traffic analysis is the art of deducing information via patterns in communication or geographic locations of transmitters. In this way important information can be gleaned even if the content of the transmis- sion is not known. Encryption is when the content of a message is hidden, either by replacing words by codes, or by enciphering, where each character is changed according to a mathematical formula. Encryption was initially done manually with the aid of tables and codebooks. From the 1920s, electro-mechanical encryption machines were developed, the most well known of which is the German Enigma machine.
