The United Nations was founded, in the words of its Charter, ‘to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war.’ Modern international law does not grant nations a right to war. There is, on the contrary, a duty to maintain peace. The threat or use of force is inconsistent with the aims of the United Nations, especially the maintenance of international peace and security (34 1 no.1). Member States, which have included Germany since 18 September 1973 1, may not resort to it (prohibition of the use of force, 34 2 no.4). As a rule, member States may resort to force only − to defend against an armed attack in the exercise of their inherent right of individual or collective self-defence in accordance with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, or − as part of military sanctions in accordance with Chapter VII of the UN Charter, authorised by the United Nations Security Council in the event of a threat to the peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression. In addition to the prohibition of the use of force there is a commitment to the peaceful settlement of disputes (34 2 no.3). Peacetime law (34 2 no.4, ‘general prohibition of the use of force’) is thus the rule, the law of armed conflict (LOAC) the exception. 102. LOAC is an evolution of the traditional law of war (ius in bello). The rules of LOAC must be applied in armed conflicts 2 even if these are not perceived by the Parties involved as wars in the traditional sense. The term ‘law of armed conflict’ is a reflection of this development. The rules of LOAC must be observed by Parties to a conflict and will be 1 Resolution 3050 adopted by the UN General Assembly on 18 September 1973. 2 In order to ensure the applicability of pertinent provisions of international law to all international conflicts involving armed force irrespective of the existence of a ‘state of war’ (in the traditional sense, this typically required a declaration of war), the term ‘armed conflict’ has become the term of choice in codified international law after World War II. 10 ZDv 15/2 applicable irrespective of an explicit declaration of war and regardless of which Party is responsible for the outbreak of the armed conflict. 2. The Purpose of the Law of Armed Conflict 103. The purpose of LOAC is to limit the suffering caused by war. The fundamental principle underlying all provisions of LOAC is the balance of two competing interests: on the one hand the considerations of military necessity and on the other the protection of the principle of humanity in armed conflicts. 104. LOAC restricts the use of force in the fight against an adversary. It comprises the entire set of rules established to protect humans in armed conflicts. It contains provisions on the protection of the civilian population, the wounded, and prisoners of war (individual protection) and details the permissible methods and means of warfare.

  • Whiteflag Protocol Specification
    Whiteflag Protocol Specification Status version 1 status DRAFT 6 date 28 FEB 2019 1 1 Introduction 1.1 Background Current armed conflicts are highly complex, because of the sheer number of parties involved: regular military forces, armed groups, peacekeeping forces, neutral parties such as journalists and non-governmental human-rights and aid organisations, civilians, refugees etc. Even though parties are opposing forces, or neutral organisations that do not want to show any affiliation, they do require to quickly and directly communicate to one or more other parties involved in the conflict in different situations. This is not new. The white flag is the original internationally recognized protective sign of truce or ceasefire, and request for negotiation. A white flag signifies to all that an approaching negotiator is unarmed, with an intent to surrender or a desire to communicate. This standard for a digital white flag protocol, the Whiteflag Protocol, provides a reliable means for both combatant and neutral parties in conflict zones to digitally communicate pre-defined signs and signals using blockchain technology. These sign and signals can also be used to communicate information about natural and man-made disasters, thus creating shared situational awareness beyond conflicts. All in all, the protocol forms the basis for a neutral and open network, the Whiteflag Network, for trusted real-time messaging between parties in conflicts and disaster response. 1.2 Purpose The purpose of the Whiteflag Protocol is to provide an open, real-time, trusted communication channel between any or all parties in conflict and disaster zones, without the requirement for a trusted third party or any specific software or system.

  • Relations with Other State Powers
    THE BULLETIN The Venice Commission was requested by the Constitutional Court of Romania, currently holding the presidency of the Conference of European Constitutional Courts (CECC), to produce a working document on the topic chosen by its Circle of Presidents at the preparatory meeting in Bucharest in October 2009 for the XV th Congress of the CECC. The topic was the following: “The relations of the Constitutional Court with other state authorities. Sub-topic 1: relations between the Constitutional Court and parliament. Sub-topic 2: conflicts of competence. Sub-topic 3: the execution of judgments.” The present working document is a contribution by the Venice Commission to the success of the Congress. Constitutional courts are the independent guarantors of the constitution and their main task is to protect the supremacy of the constitution over ordinary law. Over time, however, these courts have taken on further tasks, such as safeguarding the individual against the excess of the executive or providing a safeguard against judicial errors. Another very important role of these courts is to act as a neutral arbiter in cases of conflict between state bodies. Parties to such a conflict know that they can turn to the Constitutional Court for a decision that will help them in resolving their conflict based on the constitution. The possibility of turning to the court in itself sometimes incites them to settle their disputes before they even reach the court. In order to function correctly as an effective institution that stands above the parties in such a dispute, Constitutional Courts need to be independent and need to be seen as being independent.

  • The Tanker War and the Law of Armed Conflict (Loac)
    Chapter V THE TANKER WAR AND THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT (LOAC) he 1980-88 Tanker War nearly ran the gamut of issues related to the law of T armed conflict (LOAC), or the law ofwar (LOW) and its component, the law of naval warfare (LONW). The general law of maritime neutrality, general issues of necessity and proportionality, and issues of specific concern-visit and search including operations against convoyed, escorted or accompanied neutral mer­ chant ships; commerce ofbelligerents including belligerents' convoys and contra­ band; acquisition of enemy character; blockade, maritime exclusion and other zones and other uses of the ocean for warfare; capture of neutral vessels; humani­ tarian law and belligerents' personnel interned by neutral governments; targeting of ships and aircraft including convoys; conventional weapons; mine warfare; treatment of noncombatants, e.g., merchant seamen; deception (ruses ofwar) dur­ ing armed conflict-all figured during the Tanker War. These are the subjects of this Chapter as they applied to belligerents and neutrals during the war. Chapter III analyzed UN Charter law with particular reference to the law of self-defense and its relationship to the law ofneutrality, the law oftreaties, custom­ ary law, andjus cogens-based norms, and the general principles ofneutrality as they apply to war at sea, and to conduct between neutrals and belligerents. This Chapter will not repeat that analysis, except as it interfaces with the LOAC in situations in­ volving neutrals, e.g., mine warfare, discussed in sub-Part G.2. Chapter IV analyzed the law of the sea, and those principles will not be repeated in here, except as LOS concepts, e.g., due regard for others' uses of the sea, 1 apply by analogy in the LOAC.

  • Final Report NATO Research Fellowship Prof. Dr. Holger H
    Final Report NATO Research Fellowship Prof. Dr. Holger H. Herwig The University of Calgary Aggression Contained? The Federal Republic of Germany and International Security1 Two years ago, when I first proposed this topic, I had some trepidation about its relevance to current NATO policy. Forty-eight months of work on the topic and the rush of events especially in Central and East Europe since that time have convinced me both of its timeliness and of its relevance. Germany's role in SFOR in Bosnia since 1996, the very positive deployment of the German Army (Bundeswehr) in flood-relief work along the Oder River on the German- Polish border in the summer of 1997, and even the most recent revelations of neo-Nazi activity within the ranks of the Bundeswehr, have served only to whet my appetite for the project. For, I remain convinced that the German armed forces, more than any other, can be understood only in terms of Germany's recent past and the special military culture out of which the Bundeswehr was forged. Introduction The original proposal began with a scenario that had taken place in Paris in 1994. On that 14 July, the day that France annually sets aside as a national holiday to mark its 1789 Revolution, 189 German soldiers of the 294th Tank-Grenadier Battalion along with their twenty- four iron-crossed armoured personnel carriers for the first time since 1940 had marched down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. General Helmut Willmann's men had stepped out not to the tune of "Deutschland, 1 The research for this report was made possible by a NATO Research Fellowship.

Taking their name from the distinctive towers built during the nineteenth century to defend Kingston, Ontario, these papers cover a wide range of topics and issues relevant to contemporary international strategic relations. The European Union (EU) has long been criticized for being unable or unwilling to convert its significant economic weight into a capacity to con- tribute directly to international peace and security operations. Since the end of the Cold War, the same was often said of its largest member state, Germany, inhibited as it was by its past and by the constraints of its consti- tution. In this study, Helmut Fritsch, an officer of the Bundeswehr cur- rently posted to the Centre as a Visiting Defence Fellow, describes the emer- gence of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP), sparked by an Anglo-French initiative in 1998.
