It defines some international laws aimed at better protecting victims of internal armed conflicts that take place within the borders of one country. The scope of these laws is more limited than in the rest of the Geneva Conventions because of respect for the sovereign rights and responsibilities of national governments. By July 2020, the Protocol was ratified by 169 countries, with the United States, India, Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Israel notable exceptions. However, on 12 December 1977, the United States, Iran and Pakistan signed it, indicating their intention to work on its ratification. The Iranian signature was collected before the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The introduction of historically international law of armed conflict concerned the traditional announcements of war between States. When the Geneva Conventions were updated in 1949 after the Second World War, delegates sought to define certain minimum humanitarian standards in situations that had all the characteristics of war without being an international war. As a result of these negotiations, article 3 was published, which is common to all four major treaties of the 1949 Geneva Conventions. General article 3 applies to armed conflicts that are not of an international nature but which are held within one country. It provides limited protection for victims, including: persons who are not actively involved in hostilities should be treated humanely (including military personnel who have ceased to be active as a result of disease, uvemi or detention). The wounded and the sick must be collected and cared for. By the 1970s, diplomats had tried to reconcile clarifications with the brief wording of Article 3 and to broaden the scope of international law in order to cover additional humanitarian rights in the context of internal conflicts. As a result of these efforts, Protocol II of the Geneva Conventions was drafted. The discussion on this protocol focused on two conflicting ideas. First, the distinction between internal and international armed conflict is artificial from the victim's point of view. Humanitarian principles should be applied independently of the individual combatants. Secondly, this international law does not apply to implicit situations. A nation has sovereignty within its borders and should not accept the judgments and orders of other countries. Cm. also the first Geneva Convention, a convention on the fight against victims on the battlefield. The Second Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Victims in war at sea. The Third Geneva Convention on the Treatment of Fourth Fourth Convention on the Treatment of Civilians in Wartime. Protocol I, the 1977 amendment adopted to protect victims in international conflicts. Protocol III, adopted in 2005, an amendment defining the adoption of the Red Crystal emblem.

Eu responsibility bodies, including the relevant working groups of the Council, should monitor situations within their area of responsibility where IHL can be applied, based on consultations on IHL and its applicability, if necessary. Where appropriate, they should identify and recommend measures to promote compliance with IHL in accordance with these Guidelines. If necessary, consider consulting and sharing information with knowledgeable actors, including the ICRC and other relevant organizations, such as the Un and regional organizations. The provision of the services of the International Commission for Humanitarian Fact-Finding (IPCC), established under Article 90 of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions of 1949, which can help to strengthen IHL's respect for its capacity to establish the facts and functioning of its good offices, should also be considered, where appropriate.

Conflicts in CAR involving armed Central African Republic (FACA), 'pre-sidielle' (GP), for democracy and democracy (ARD) and the Union of Forces for Unification (UFDR) are internal, non- international armed conflicts in which all parties are bound by applicable international humanitarian law (the laws of war). Parties to the conflict in CAR, in particular, are required to abide by customary international humanitarian law with regard to the obscure armed conflict, Article 3, common to the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 (general article 3), and the 1977 Additional Protocol II to the Geneva Conventions, which apply to conflicts between the country's armed forces and other organized armed groups.

INTRODUCTION TO THE LAW OF ARMED CONFLICT 1. BACKGROUND: SETTING THE SCENE Today we begin a series of lectures on the law of armed conflict, which is also known as the law of war, international humanitarian law, or simply IHL. To begin, I’d like to take a guess at what you’re thinking right now. Some of you are probably thinking that this is an ideal opportunity to catch up on some well-earned rest. “Thank goodness I’m not on the assault course or on manoeuvres. This is absolutely marvellous. I can switch off and let this instructor ramble on for 45 minutes. I know all about the Geneva Conventions anyway – the law is part of my culture and our military traditions. I really don't need to listen to all this legal ‘mumbo jumbo’.” The more sceptical and cynical among you might well be thinking along the lines of a very famous orator of ancient Rome – Cicero.

Solf* INTRODUCTION Humanitarian law is the outgrowth of centuries of warfare from which the rules and customs governing the conduct of hostilities have developed. Its development was stimulated by military men who recog- nized that violence and destruction, which are superfluous to actual military necessity, are not only immoral and wasteful of scarce re- sources, but are also counter-productive to the attainment of the politi- cal objectives for which military force is used. The purpose of this presentation is to outline the historical develop- ment of restraints on the methods and means of warfare, their accept- ance as customary law binding on all states, and the relation of custom- ary law to the codifications of international law in the Hague Conventions of 1907,1 the Geneva Conventions of 1949,2 and the 1977 * Adjunct Professor of Law, Washington College of Law, The American University, Member, U.S.

  • How to Index Conventions and Treaties
    www.IndexingPartners.com Indexing A to Z How to Index Conventions and Treaties More and more in our globalized work, you will encounter references to conventions and treaties. It used to be that unless you were working on international law, you were unlikely to face references to these agreements, but now books that deal with feminism, human rights, employment issues, trade, children, war, business, etc. can all encompass conventions and treaties. They present the perfect examples of topics that demand multiple postings. First, they may have an issuing body like the United Nations or the World Trade Organization; second, they have a topic or maybe multiple topics to which they apply; third, they have formal names by which they are known; and fourth, they often have acronyms or nicknames by which they are commonly called. For me, they represent that category of entries called a “groaner” as they make you groan under all the labor of adding them to the index. Treaties When I was in grade school, I watched a lot of westerns on TV and thought of treaties as something the U.S. government made with Native American (Indian) tribes and then they smoked a “peace pipe.” In fact, most of the Indian wars did conclude in treaties (although I am not so sure about the smoking part) – I know that as I once indexed an entire volume devoted to these wars, and in the appendixes it reprinted all the treaties. Each conflict and disagreement had the potential of generating a treaty. I did not index the actual terms of each treaty, but considered each appendix (treaty) as one entity and made entries to it by its page range.

Human rights • Human rights movement developed in the aftermath of the Second World War and the atrocities of The Holocaust, culminating in the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. • The ancient world did not possess the concept of universal human rights ("elaborate systems of duties, conceptions of justice, political legitimacy, and human flourishing that sought to realize human dignity, or well-being entirely independent of human rights“). History of concept • In 539 B.C., the armies of Cyrus the Great, the first king of ancient Persia: - conquered the city of Babylon - he freed the slaves, declared that all people had the right to choose their own religion, and established racial equality, - recorded these on a baked-clay cylinder in the Akkadian language - has now been recognized as the world’s first charter of human rights, - UN! History of concept • The modern concept - developed during the early Modern period. • Can be traced to Renaissance Europe and the Protestant Reformation (alongside the disappearance of the feudal authoritarianism and religious conservativism). • The most commonly held view: - concept of human rights evolved in the West, and - while earlier cultures had important ethical concepts, they generally lacked a concept of human rights (no word for "right" in any language before 1400).

Abstract Since their publication in the 1950s and 1980s respectively, the Commentaries on the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of 1977 have become a major reference for the application and interpretation of those treaties. The International Committee of the Red Cross, together with a team of renowned experts, is currently updating these Commentaries in order to document developments and provide up-to-date interpretations of the treaty texts. Following a brief overview of the methodology and process of the update as well as a historical background to the Second Geneva Convention, this article addresses the scope of applicability of the Convention, the type of vessels it protects (in particular hospital ships and coastal rescue craft), and its relationship with other sources of international humanitarian law and international law conferring * The authors wish to acknowledge that this article summarizes the key findings of the new Commentary and as such reflects the input of many experts involved in the drafting and review of the Commentary. © icrc 2017 401 B.
