  • The Relationship Between International Humanitarian Law and the International Criminal Tribunals Hortensia D
    Volume 88 Number 861 March 2006 The relationship between international humanitarian law and the international criminal tribunals Hortensia D. T. Gutierrez Posse Hortensia D. T. Gutierrez Posse is Professor of Public International Law, University of Buenos Aires Abstract International humanitarian law is the branch of customary and treaty-based international positive law whose purposes are to limit the methods and means of warfare and to protect the victims of armed conflicts. Grave breaches of its rules constitute war crimes for which individuals may be held directly accountable and which it is up to sovereign states to prosecute. However, should a state not wish to, or not be in a position to, prosecute, the crimes can be tried by international criminal tribunals instituted by treaty or by binding decision of the United Nations Security Council. This brief description of the current legal and political situation reflects the state of the law at the dawn of the twenty-first century. It does not, however, describe the work of a single day or the fruit of a single endeavour. Quite the contrary, it is the outcome of the international community’s growing awareness, in the face of the horrors of war and the indescribable suffering inflicted on humanity throughout the ages, that there must be limits to violence and that those limits must be established by the law and those responsible punished so as to discourage future perpetrators from exceeding them. Short historical overview International humanitarian law has played a decisive role in this development, as both the laws and customs of war and the rules for the protection of victims fall 65 H.

This publication supersedes FM 27-10/MCTP 11-10C, dated 18 July 1956. HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY HEADQUARTERS, UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS Foreword The lessons of protracted conflict confirm that adherence to the law of armed conflict (LOAC) by the land forces, both in intern ational and non-international armed conflict, must serve as the standard that we train to and apply across the entire range of military operations. Adhering to LOAC enhances the legitimacy of our operations and supports the moral framework of our armed forces. We have learned th at we deviate from these norms to our detriment and risk undercutting both domesti c and international support for our operations. LOAC has been and remains a vital guide for all military operations conducted by the U.S. Governm ent. This fi eld manual provides a general description of the law of land warfare for Soldiers and Marines, delineated as statements of doctrine and practice, to gui de the land forces in conducting di sci plined military operations in accordance with the rule of law. The Department of Defense Law of War Manual (June 20 15, updated December 2016) is the authoritative statement on the law of war for the Department of Defense. In the event of a conflict or discrepancy regarding the legal standards addressed in this publication and th e DOD Law of War Manual, the latter takes precedence.

  • International Humanitarian Law from Agincourt to Rome
    XII International Humanitarian Law from Agincourt to Rome Theodor Meron VER THE PAST HALF-MILLENNIUM, the relationship between war and O law has been the subject of much change. Two issues have remained central, even in modern international humanitarian law (IHL): the first is "quarter," that is, the obligation to spare the life of a combatant who has laid down his arms and surrendered, and, second, the protection of women from the ravages of war and, especially, rape. Both issues arose during Henry V's Agincourt campaign, a phase of the Hundred Years' War that started in 1415 with the landing of Henry's Army near Harfleur, the siege and capture of Harfleur, and its victory in Agincourt, and ended in 1420 with the conclusion of the Treaty of Troyes, which pronounced Henry the heir to the French throne. At Agincourt, the terrain, the tactics, and the longbow helped the lightly armed and mobile English prevail over the several times larger, heavily armoured mounted French knights. The Treaty marked the ascendancy of England until Joan of Arc's rallying of the French in 1429 sparked a turning point that eventually led to the defeat of England by Charles VII of France. This article is based on an inaugural lecture delivered on November 7, 1998, at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva. International Humanitarian Law from Agincourt to Rome This campaign was immortalized in Shakespeare's epic play, on which I shall draw. I draw on Shakespeare because his anatomy of war is a close reflection of the sixteenth century chronicles, Raphael Holinshed and Edward Hall, and thus an excellent vehicle to illustrate the law's evolution.

  • The Law of War?
    VI[ What Is-Why Is There- the Law of War? Leslie Green WRITING IN 1832. Clausewit' maintained that, [T]o impose our will on the enemy is [the] object of force .... The fighting force must be destroyed: tha t is they must be put in such a condition that they can no longer carry on the fight .. .. War is an act of force, there is no logical limitation to the application of force .... Attached to force are certain imperceptible limitations hardly worth mentioning, known as internatioTUlllaw and custom, but they scarcely weaken it . ... [In fact,] kind-hearted people might ... think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat an enemy without too much bloodshed, and might imagine that is the true goal of the art of war. Pleasant as it sounds, it is a fallacy that must be exposed: war is such a dangerous business that the mistakes which come from kindness are the very worst .... [However,] if civilized nations do not put their prisoners to death or devastate cities and countries, it is because intelligence plays a larger part in their methods [than was the case among savages] and has taught them more effective ways of using force than the crude expression of instinct.1 In response to this assertion, it might be said that the very "intelligence" to which he refers as playing a larger part in the methods of warfare, in fact expresses itself in the very rules of international law and custom which he The Law of War cynically derides as "hardly worth mentioning." As if to confirm this, reference may be made to the comment by General Colin Powell when submitting his report to the United States Congress on "The Role of the Law of War" during Operation DESERT STORM.

  • The Politics of Surrender: Canadian Soldiers and the Killing of Prisoners in the Great War
    The Politics of Surrender: Canadian Soldiers and the Killing of Prisoners in the Great War Tim Cook The Journal of Military History, Volume 70, Number 3, July 2006, pp. 637-665 (Article) Published by Society for Military History DOI: 10.1353/jmh.2006.0158 For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/jmh/summary/v070/70.3cook.html Access provided by Vancouver Island University (5 Jan 2014 11:08 GMT) The Politics of Surrender: Canadian Soldiers and the Killing of Prisoners in the Great War ✩ Tim Cook1 Abstract This article explores the act of surrender on the Western Front dur- ing the Great War, focusing on the behavior of Canadian soldiers toward surrendering Germans. Informal rules and symbolic ges- tures governed actions on the battlefield, and those who success- fully negotiated the politics of surrender often survived the murderous first contact between attacking forces. But during the grey area between combat and capitulation, prisoners were fre- quently executed. The article also examines the politics of memory surrounding the killing of prisoners and, using the soldiers’ dis- course, analyzes why soldiers freely admitted and accepted these acts on the battlefield. A German had come out of his trench to meet him with the bayonet; [but] had chickened out and tried to surrender. Our boy would have none of it. He lunged at the German again and again, who each time lowered his arms and stopped the point of the bayonet 1. The author would like to thank Cameron Pulsifer, D. Peter MacLeod, Martin Auger, Ian Steele, and Jonathan Vance for their careful reading and commentary on earlier versions of this article.
