The Law of Naval Exclusion Zones The Law of Naval Exclusion Zones A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Daryl A. Mundis LL.M., The London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London M.I.A., School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University J.D., Columbia Law School B.A., Manhattanville College University of London The London School of Economics and Political Science Law Department May 2008 Abstract Abstract The present work examines naval exclusion zones, with particular emphasis on the jus in bello applicable to such zones. The issues presented by the establishment and use of naval exclusion relate to many aspects of the law of the sea and naval warfare. Naval exclusion zones represent an important issue for national security policy makers, in that the use of such zones during armed conflicts at sea can limit the geographic scope of the conflict. While such zones may promote the principles enshrined in Article 51 of the UN Charter and discourage belligerents from waging naval warfare on a global scale, the use of such zones have the potential for disaster, in that naval commanders who mistakenly operate under the assumption that such zones are “free-fire zones” run the risk of unlawfully sinking hospital ships or other protected vessels. Moreover, naval exclusion zones have become increasingly common during modern naval conflicts, including the Falklands, Iran-Iraq and Persian Gulf Wars. Finally, even when used within the bounds of international law, naval exclusion zones still have the potential to disrupt commercial uses of the seas since they often cut across the claims of neutrals, potentially interfering with neutral commerce, oil exploration or fishing. This thesis traces the development of naval exclusion zones, with particular emphasis on the following: • The historical uses of such zones • The permissible threatres of naval operations under the modern law of the sea regime • The permissible scope of activity within such zones vis-à- vis belligerent warships and merchant vessels • The rights of neutrals in and around naval exclusion zones • The legality of such zones as analysed through the traditional sources of international law The thesis then concludes with recommendations for clarifying and strengthening the rules concerning the scope of permissible activity within such zones.

Daryl A. MUNDIS Dated this 15th Day of May 2008 The Hague The Netherlands Mundis 3 Acknowledgements Under ideal circumstances, writing a doctoral dissertation might be considered a difficult and lonely endeavour. When combined with a challenging career and parenthood, the task becomes even more challenging. Fortunately, I was able to count on the unfaltering support of Deborah Leipziger and my daughters, Natasha, Alexandra and Jacqueline, to see this challenge through to completion. Thanks also to Deborah for her helpful comments on various drafts. She undoubtedly knows more about naval warfare than she could have ever imagined possible—or useful! I will remain forever grateful to them for their patience and understanding as I pursued this dream. Of course, before these four ladies came into my life, I was always able to rely on my parents and step-parents, Carl and Colleen Mundis and Marilyn and Cornelius Wallace and Garry Beal, as well as my sister, Marla, for the intellectual, emotional and financial support that was the necessary foundation to get me to where I am today. I am also grateful for the support and encouragement of Michael, Fabia and David Leipziger. I remain indebted to you all for your unwavering support. I have also benefited tremendously from the support and encouragement of my supervisor, Professor Christopher J. Greenwood, Q.C. Despite my own periodic doubts about the wisdom of proceeding, Chris encouraged me to persevere, which is not surprising to anyone who knows him. Moreover, it was Chris who first planted the idea of this dissertation in my head more than eight years ago, when he was my LL.M. tutor. I found myself nearing completion of that degree, with no job in sight and my wife pregnant with our first child. Chris assisted me in developing this project and also helped me obtain funding. I am truly privileged to have studied under the tutelage of one of the world’s leading experts in the field. Shortly after being admitted into the PhD programme, Judge Gabrielle Kirk McDonald, then the President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in The Hague, took a chance on hiring me. It has truly been a life-altering experience to work on the cutting edge of the intersection of international humanitarian and international criminal law. In addition to Judge McDonald, I have benefited tremendously from the opportunity to work for (and with) some truly outstanding colleagues, including Carla Del Ponte, David Tolbert (who was particularly supportive), Gavin Ruxton, Michael Johnson, Ken Scott, Mark Ierace, Dirk Ryneveld, Alan Tieger and Mark Harmon. They have all contributed in my development as an advocate. I must especially acknowledge William J. Fenrick, however. I had the good fortune to work for Bill, one of the world’s pre-eminent experts on the law of naval warfare, during my time at the ICTY, and his comments and criticisms on various drafts were always insightful and helpful. His friendship will be valued always. I have also been extremely fortunate in being on the trial teams in a number of different cases, including Fo ča, Keraterm , Gali ć, Hadžihasnovi ć & Kubura , Prli ć et al , and Deli ć. The experience gained in working on cases involving conduct of hostilities and command responsibility has been particularly rewarding and I will always cherish the friendships that I have made at this special institution. Behind any academic project, there are always librarians and university administrators who help in countless ways and I would be remiss if I failed to recognise these individuals for their assistance. Special recognition goes to Gary Meixner at the ICTY Library, who never once questioned why I occasionally presented him with requests for materials relating to naval warfare. In submitting this dissertation, I am grateful to all who have played a role—in whatever way, shape or form. The usual caveat applies: all errors, omissions, etc., remain mine and mine alone.

  • Timeline for World War II — Japan
    Unit 5: Crisis and Change Lesson F: The Failure of Democracy and Return of War Student Resource: Timeline for World War II — Japan Timeline for World War II — Japan Pre-1920: • 1853: American Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Tokyo harbor and forced the Japanese to allow trade with U.S. merchants with threat of military action. • 1858: Western nations forced Japan to sign the Unequal Treaties. These articles established export and import tariffs and the concept of "extraterritoriality" (i.e., Japan held no jurisdiction over foreign criminals in its land. Their trials were to be conducted by foreign judges under their own nation's laws). Japan had no power to change these terms. • 1868: Japan, in an effort to modernize and prevent future Western dominance, ousted the Tokugawa Shogunate and adopted a new Meiji Emperor. The next few decades saw rapid and successful industrialization during the Meiji Restoration. • 1899: With newly gained power from recent industrialization, Japan successfully renegotiated aspects of the Unequal Treaties. • 1899–1901: The Boxer Rebellion led China to a humiliating defeat by the Eight-Nation Alliance of Western powers including the United States and Japan, ceding more territory, and dealing one of the final blows to the struggling Qing Dynasty. • 1904–1905: The Russo-Japanese War began with a surprise attack and ended by an eventual Japanese victory over Imperial Russia. The Japanese took control of Korea. • 1914: During World War I, Japan and other Allies seized German colonial possessions. • 1919: Japan, as a member of the victorious Allies during World War I, gained a mandate over various Pacific islands previously part of the German colonial empire.

Asian and African Studies, 2020, vol. 12, issue 4, pp. 556–572. https://doi.org/10.21638/spbu13.2020.406 The article analyses the research work of Chinese scientist Su Beihai on Kazakh history, one of the oldest nationalities in Eurasia. This work has been preserved as a manuscript and its main merit is the study of Kazakh history from early times to the present. Moreover, it shows Chinese scientists’ attitude to Kazakh history. Su Beihai’s scientific analysis was writ- ten in the late 1980s in China. At that time, Kazakhstan was not yet an independent country. Su Beihai drew on various works, on his distant expedition materials and demonstrated with facts that Kazakh people living in their modern settlements have a 2,500-year history. Although the book was written in accordance with the principles of Chinese communist historiography, Chinese censorship prevented its publication. Today, Kazakh scientists are approaching the end of their study and translation of Su Beihai’s manuscript. Therefore, the article first analyses the most important and innovative aspects of this work for Kazakh history.

Bringing together original historical research on the radical press and close readings of Yiddish avant-garde poetry by Moyshe-Leyb Halpern, Peretz Markish, Yankev Glatshteyn, and others, I show that the development of anarchist modernism was both a transnational literary trend and a complex worldview. My research draws from hitherto unread material in international archives to document the world of the Yiddish anarchist press and assess the scope of its literary influence. The dissertation’s theoretical framework is informed by diaspora studies, gender studies, and translation theory, to which I introduce anarchist diasporism as a new term.
