L'avenir de l'Afghanistan : une responsabilité afghane / Taiba Rahim. - In: Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge : sélection française, Vol. 93, 2011/1, p. 51-61Chaque jour, de mauvaises nouvelles nous arrivent d’Afghanistan. Depuis trente ans, le pays est continuellement ravagé par la guerre. Pour survivre, les Afghans, hommes et femmes, sont en proie à de terribles difficultés et la majorité d’entre eux n’ont rien connu d’autre que la guerre. Une lourde responsabilité pèse cependant sur les épaules des Afghans eux-mêmes, qui ont causé d’immenses souffrances à leurs compatriotes. Cet article montre que l’avenir de l’Afghanistan est entre les mains de la population afghane. Les problèmes actuels ne peuvent pas être et ne seront pas résolus de l’extérieur. Il est temps que les Afghans et les Afghanes affrontent leurs problèmes, surmontent leurs divisions et élaborent leurs propres solutions.

Après un bref rappel historique en guise d’introduction, l’article examine les tensions

autour de la question de la ‘cohérence’ – le nom de code donné à l’action visant à intégrer l’action humanitaire dans les desseins politiques plus vastes des Nations Unies, ainsi que de la coalition militaire qui, sous mandat de l’ONU, mène des opérations en Afghanistan depuis fin 2001. L’article se termine par quelques conclusions plus générales relatives aux relations entre l’humanitaire et le politique et aux retombées de l’expérience afghane sur l’avenir de l’action humanitaire.

Les expulsés Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, l'Europe a été le théâtre d'un transfert forcé de population à très grande échelle : des millions d'Allemands qui vivaient en Tchécoslovaquie, en Hongrie et en Pologne, devenus indésirables dans ces pays durement éprouvés par les années de domination nazie, ont été délogés de leurs foyers et envoyés vivre parmi les ruines du Reich. Ces expulsions, qui se sont déroulées entre 1945 et 1947, ont été organisées par les autorités des pays concernés, avec l'aide des gouvernements britannique, soviétique et américain qui pilotaient alors la reconstruction de l'Europe. Elles ont concerné entre 12 et 14 millions de personnes - en majorité des femmes et des enfants - et ont été menées avec une telle brutalité qu'elles ont fait de nombreuses victimes : au moins 500 000 expulsés sont morts dans les camps de transit où on les avait rassemblés, pendant les trajets, ou à leur arrivée en Allemagne, épuisés, affamés et sans abri. Cet épisode tragique s'est déroulé au grand jour, sous les yeux de dizaines de milliers de journalistes, diplomates, travailleurs humanitaires et observateurs divers. Ses répercussions sont encore visibles dans l'Europe et dans le monde d'aujourd'hui. Pourtant, hors d'Allemagne, il est presque complètement oublié. C'est cette lacune historique que ce livre entend combler.94/474 (FRE)

Le CICR en Afghanistan : réaffirmer le neutralité de l'action humanitaire / Fiona Terry. -In: Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge : sélection française, Vol. 93, 2011/1, p. 147-165La neutralité en tant que principe directeur de l’action humanitaire a été catégoriquement réfutée par la plupart des acteurs du dernier conflit en Afghanistan. Une partie au conflit a réquisitionné les organisations d’assistance et d’aide humanitaire dans une campagne contre-insurrectionnelle, tandis que l’autre a rejeté les organisations humanitaires occidentales en tant qu’agents d’un Occident impérialiste. L’assassinat en 2003 d’un ingénieur hydraulicien du CICR, Ricardo Munguia, pour ce qu’il symbolisait, a jeté le doute sur la capacité du CICR à être perçu comme neutre dans ce contexte fortement polarisé. Mais plutôt qu’abandonner une position neutre, comme tant d’organisations humanitaires l’ont fait, le CICR a persévéré et, à travers des initiatives novatrices et parfois risquées, il a réussi à montrer aux deux camps les avantages qu’il y a de disposer d’un intermédiaire neutre dans un conflit. Aujourd’hui, le CICR continue d’étendre la portée de son action pour venir en aide aux Afghans qui ont terriblement besoin d’une assistance humanitaire.

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW

Civil war, custom and Cassese / Jean-Marie Henckaerts. - In: Journal of international criminal justice, Vol. 10, no. 5, December 2012, p. 1095-1111Civil war is still the prevalent form of armed conflict today. Nevertheless, its regulation in treaty law remains rudimentary compared to the regulation of international armed conflict. However, under the influence of practice, a number of customary rules regulating this type of conflict have evolved. Antonio Cassese played a prominent role in the identification of these customary rules, first as a scholar and then as a judge at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and President of the Independent Commission of Inquiry on Darfur. A study published by the International Committee of the Red Cross in 2005 took this identification process further and provides a comprehensive assessment of these rules. It indicates that the divide between the regulation of internal and international armed conflicts has been narrowed down considerably.

War crimes and the requirement of a nexus with an armed conflict / Harmen van der Wilt. - In: Journal of international criminal justice, Vol. 10, no. 5, December 2012, p. 1113-1128


10

In order to qualify as a war crime, an offence must have a nexus with an armed conflict. This contextual element serves to distinguish war crimes from both ordinary crimes and other international crimes such as crimes against humanity and genocide. The case law of the international criminal tribunals reveals that this nexus requirement is an open concept, resulting in diverging interpretations by both international and domestic criminal courts. Starting from the assumption that such strong divergences are problematic from the perspective of legal certainty, this article seeks to define the nexus requirement more precisely. Those general theories that predicate the right of intervention by the international community upon the default by a state on its primary obligation to provide a certain basic level of security, offer a sound conceptual framework to identify international crimes. However, such theories are less suitable to define war crimes as a separate category within the realm of international crimes. Instead, the author proposes to reflect upon the quintessential nature of war crimes as serious violations of the laws and customs of war. By considering war crimes as perversions of accepted and legitimate conduct in warfare, it is possible to reconstruct the content and meaning of the nexus requirement.

L'applicabilité temporelle du droit international humanitaire / Julia Grignon. - Genève : Faculté de droit de l'Université de Genève, 2012. - 495 p. : tabl. ; 30 cm. - Thèse de doctorat, Université de Genève, Faculté de droit, 2012. - Bibliographie : p. 453-495L'ambition de ce travail au regard de l'applicabilité ratione temporis des instruments de droit international humanitaire est de dégager, sinon des critères, à tout le moins des indicateurs permettant d'encadrer juridiquement, avec toute la souplesse requise, le temps dans lequel le droit international humanitaire produit des effets, quelle que soit la situation dans laquelle il a vocation à s'appliquer. Pour ce faire et puisque la question à laquelle on entend répondre est celle de savoir à partir de quand et jusqu'à quand le droit international humanitaire s'applique aux situations de conflits armés, il conviendra d'étudier d'abord les éléments permettant de conclure au début de son applicabilité, puis ceux déterminant la fin de son applicabilité.345.2/909

Topics examined include the concept of combatant; means and methods of warfare; protection of civilians, wounded, sick and shipwrecked, prisoners of war; protection of the natural environment in time of armed conflict; individual criminal responsibility for violation of international humanitarian law; non-international armed conflicts; rebel's status in non-international armed conflict; humanitarian intervention; implementation of international humanitarian law; and effective enforcement of international humanitarian law.345.2/907

Modern warfare : armed groups, private militaries, humanitarian organizations, and the law / ed. by Benjamin Perrin. - Vancouver : UBC Press, 2012. - XX, 395 p. : graph. ; 24 cm. - Index.. - ISBN 9780774822329The face of modern warfare is changing as more and more humanitarian organizations, private military companies, and non-state groups enter complex security environments such as Iraq, Afghanistan, and Haiti. Although this shift has been overshadowed by the legal issues connected to the War on Terror and intervention in countries such as Rwanda and Sudan, it has caused some to question the relevance of the laws of war. To bridge the widening gap between the theory and practice of the law, Modern Warfare brings together both scholars and practitioners who offer unique, and often divergent, perspectives on four key challenges to the

law's legitimacy: how to ensure compliance among non-state armed groups; the proliferation of private military and security companies and their use by humanitarian organizations; tensions between the idea of humanitarian space and counterinsurgency doctrines; and the phenomenon of urban violence. The contributors do not simply consider settled legal standards -- they widen the scope to include first principles, related bodies of law, humanitarian policy, and the latest studies on the prevention and mitigation of violence.345.2/903

Reinterpreting competing interpretations of the scope and potential of the Martens clause / Michael Salter. - In: Journal of conflict and security law, Vol. 17, no. 3, Winter 2012, p. 403-437This article, whose materials are extracted from a wider project on the doctrinal and humanitarian significance of the 1899/1907 Martens Clause, reviews the strengths and limitations of competing interpretations and judicial applications of this Clause. It identifies four distinct, if interrelated, approaches to defining its meaning and scope assessing each in turn. We take issue with recent scholarship that restricts its applicability in various ways that deny its status as a separate and distinct legal principle of direct and independent applicability to organized atrocities against civilians. We also dispute the view that this Clause is best interpreted as an aide to judicial interpretation, rather than as an independent source of international criminal law, by showing that this interpretation is inconsistent with a number of important cases whose authority appears to be well established and unobjectionable. Furthermore, the moral imperatives that clearly shape the language of the Clause and have been realized in many of its accumulated judicial applications, positively require this measure to be interpreted and applied as a freestanding legal norm—albeit one that has to operate as supplement for, rather than alternative to, other more specific legal rules and principles.

Le conflit armé en Afghanistan a-t-il un impact sur les règles relatives à la conduite des hostilités ? / Robin Geiss et Michael Siegrist. - In: Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge : sélection française, Vol. 93, 2011/1, p. 63-104Le conflit armé en cours en Afghanistan depuis 2001 continue de soulever de multiples questions en rapport avec les règles humanitaires relatives à la conduite des hostilités. Comme cela se passe souvent dans les conflits dits asymétriques, les limites géographiques et temporelles du champ de bataille sont de plus en plus floues en Afghanistan, où l'on voit s'estomper toujours davantage la distinction entre civils et combattants. Le niveau de risque est donc élevé tant pour la population civile que pour les soldats opérant en Afghanistan. Le présent article vise à établir si – et, en ce cas, dans quelle mesure – le conflit armé en Afghanistan a une incidence sur l'application et l'interprétation des principes qui se trouvent au cœur des normes juridiques réglementant la conduite des hostilités, à savoir les principes de distinction, de proportionnalité et de précaution.

Of wolves and sheep : a purposive analysis of perfidy prohibitions in international humanitarian law / Mike Madden. - In: Journal of conflict and security law, Vol. 17, no. 3, Winter 2012, p. 439-463A combatant in an armed conflict, like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, can seek to gain a tactical or strategic advantage by resort to deception and trickery. International Humanitarian Law (IHL), however, distinguishes between permissible ruses of war and illegal acts of perfidy. How, then, should combatants conduct themselves so as to avoid violating IHL’s perfidy prohibitions? This article argues that belligerents should interpret prohibitions against perfidy in a purposive manner (looking to causative links that may exist between perfidy and harm) in order to avoid eroding the protection that IHL affords to designated groups. A close analysis of potentially perfidious land, air and sea combat practices will further reveal that some accepted practices may need to be reassessed and/or ceased if States wish to comply with purposively interpreted perfidy prohibitions.

Unmanned aerial vehicles and the scope of the "combat zone" : some thoughts on the geographical scope of application of international humanitarian law / Robert Heinsch. -In: Humanitäres Völkerrecht : Informationsschriften = Journal of international law of peace and armed conflict, Vol. 25, 4/2012, p. 184-192The fight against international terrorism, but also the development of new weapons technologies has led in recent years to the phenomenon that the way hostilities are conducted has changed significantly. The times where wars were fought as a man-to-man battle on a clearly defined battleground with the object to obtain territory seem to be over, especially since nowadays more and more fighting activities take place by using remote controlled drones and other comparable weapons systems. As a result, we now witness an increasing distance between the initiator and the target of an attack, e.g. the targeted killing of potential terrorists in the mountains of Pakistan by US drones which are controlled form an operation centre located in Texas. The questions that arise for international humanitarian law are whether these scenarios have to be seen within the scope of international humanitarian law, and if so, whether the existing rules are still able to deal with this type of weapons, or whether we need a reform of the current international humanitarian law regime. This paper will focus primarily on the first question, and examines whether we have to think about expanding the concept of the "combat zone" or the geographical scope of international humanitarian law. In addition, we will look briefly on how this issue is related to the application of international human rights, especially in cases of so-called "targeted killings".

INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW-TYPE OF ACTORS

Command responsibility in irregular groups / Sandesh Sivakumaran. - In: Journal of international criminal justice, Vol. 10, no. 5, December 2012, p. 1129-1150This article considers the operation of command responsibility in irregular groups. It analyses the element of command responsibility relating to the obligation of a superior to take the necessary and reasonable measures to prevent crimes of subordinates and punish the perpetrators of those crimes. It focuses on two particular aspects. First, it explores the notion of a duty to take certain measures, in particular asking where that duty emanates from in the context of irregular groups. Second, it ascertains the content of the duty to take measures, considering measures that can be taken by superiors of irregular groups in view of the structure, operation, and workings of irregular groups.

INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW-TYPE OF CONFLICT

An Australian perspective on non-international armed conflict : Afghanistan and East Timor / Rob McLaughlin. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 293-319The aim in this short study is to ask how, from a legal perspective, Australia has approached the issue of"NlAC." It seeks to achieve this by examining four discrete issues: conflict characterization, characterization of the opposing force, rules of engagement (ROE) and treatment of captured/detained personnel. The methodology adopted is to examine each of these issues through a broadly comparative prism - a comparison between a high-level non-NlAC operation (East Timor, 1999-2001) and a NIAC operation (Afghanistan, ongoing since 2005). The purpose behind adopting this methodology is to provide a framework for establishing an alternative against which NIAC practice can be compared. It also provides a means of illustrating the degree to which this practice is either consistent or different across the lower threshold of NlAC, that is. between less-than NlAC " peace" operations (law enforcement operations or stabilization/mitigation operations). and NIAC operations themselves. The reasons Australia has taken different characterization paths, and the consequences of these choices, are central to understanding any "Australian approach to NIAC." The underlying premise is that any legal understanding of NIAC and of the threshold between NIAC and less than NIAC is beholden to non-legal influences to a much greater degree than in dear law enforcement or dear IAC contexts.

Defining non-international armed conflict : a historically difficult task / David E. Graham. -In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 43-55This contribution establishes the framework for a broad and comprehensive discussion of NIAC by assessing, historically, the way in which the international community has attempted to define this particular form of conflict, to include the issue of whether there now exist various types of NIAC. It then addresses the U.S. practice with respect to the manner in which the United States has determined whether to designate certain hostilities as NIACs.

Detention in non-international armed conflicts / Knut Dörmann. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 347-366The article focuses on two main issues. It first addresses the applicable legal framework to detention in NIAC and, in particular, the interplay between international humanitarian law (IHL) and international human rights law; and second, present the International Committee of the Red Cross's (ICRC's) analysis of the need to strengthen the law in light of humanitarian problems observed in its field operations and the related normative weaknesses. The concluding remarks will then summarize how the international community has responded to the ICRC's analysis. Before addressing these two issues, some observations on the sources of law applicable in NlAC should be made to set the frame.

Non-international armed conflict in the twenty-first century / Kenneth Watkin and Andrew J. Norris editors. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, 456 p.From June 21 to 23, 2011, the U.S.Naval War College hosted a conference examining the evolving law in non-international armed conflict (NIAC) in the twenty-first century. Panelists discussed their views on how the law will develop as the world continues to struggle with thechanging nature of the threats to national and international security posed by failed and failing States, insurgencies, and transnational criminal and terrorist organizations. The five panels were: 1. Types of NIACs and applicable law; 2. Lgal status of actors in NIAC; 3. Means and methods in NIACs; 4. Recent and ongoing NIACs; 5. Detention in NIAC

Present and future conceptions of the status of government forces in non-international armed conflict / Sean Watts. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 145-180This chapter focuses on the use of status to determine lawfulness of participation in hostilities, or what is sometimes referred to in lnternational armed conflict as combatant status. In particular, this chapter explores the extent to which the international law of non-international armed conflict (NIAC) regulates the status of persons who participate in hostilities on behalf of the State. This chapter begins by addressing the descriptive question whether the international law of NlAC speaks to government forces' status at all. An analytical section accompanies, offering explanations of the likely influences behind the state of the law. A predictive effort follows, addressed to the question whether the law is settled or instead likely to change. This section identifies a number of pressures conspiring to fill the NIAC status void. An argument in favor of imposing status-like limitations on government forces in NlAC is derived from the law-of-war principle of distinction, and then rebutted by logical, structural and operational arguments. The chapter concludes by addressing a series of considerations related to the chapter's opening generalization about intemational legal voids as an opportunity to reflect moredeliberately on an appropriate interpretive approach to the law ofNIAC.

Self-defense targeting : blurring the line between the jus ad bellum and the jus in bello / Geoffrey S. Corn. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 57-92This essay will argue that the concept of self-defense targeting does not and cannot provide a substitute for resolving the debate about in bello applicability to transnational counterterror military operations. The reasons for this are multifaceted. First, the jus ad bellum has never been understood as a source of operational or tactical regulation nor a substitute for the law providing that regulation. Indeed, one of the central tenets of the jus belli has always been the invalidity of reliance on the jus ad bellum to define jus in bello obligations. Instead, the de facto nature of tactical execution is the principal factor for assessing applicability of the jus in bello. Second, because the jus ad bellum has never been conceived as a tactical regulatory framework, using it as a substitute for the jus in bello injects unacceptable confusion into the planning and execution of combat operations. Finally, while the principles of necessity and proportionality are central to both branches of the jus belli, the meaning of these principles is not identical in each branch but, in fact, disparate. As a result, the scope of lawful authority to


16

employ force during mission execution will be subtly but unquestionably degraded if ad bellum principles are utilized as a substitute for in bello regulation.

"Small wars" : the legal challenges / Kenneth Watkin. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 3-12

The status of opposition fighters in a non-international armed conflict / Michael N. Schmitt. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 119-144. - Article également publié dans: Israel Yearbook on Human Rights, vol. 42, 2012The treaty law applicable to the classification of participants in a non international conflict is limited to Common Article 3 to the 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1977 Additional Protocol Il. Taking the two treaties together, and in light of Common Article 3's customary status, it can be concluded that two broad categories of non-international armed conflict participants lie in juxtaposition: civilians and organized armed groups. The former can be subdivided into those who directly participate in hostilities and those who do not. Organized armed groups consist of a State's armed forces, dissident armed forces or "other" organized armed groups. This chapter examines the three types of "opposition fighters" - dissident armed forces, other organized armed groups and civilians directly participating in hostilities. Assuming a non-international armed conflict (whatever form it takes), it asks how opposition force participants in the conflict are to be classified. The key consequences of classification lie in the law of targeting, for classification determines whether LOAC prohibits an attack on an individual during a non international armed conflict. To the extent no prohibition exists on attacking persons with a particular classification, harm to an individual within that group plays no role in proportionality calculations (except as military advantage) and need not be considered when determining the precautions that attackers are required to take during attacks to avoid harming civilians. As will become apparent, the targetability of the various categories of opposition fighters is a matter of some contention in LOAC circles.

Toward a limited consensus on the loss of civilian immunity in non-international armed conflict : making progress through practice / Stephen Pomper. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 181-193This article will touch briefly on the ways in which the conversation about when an individual loses protection from attack through membership in an organized armed group (and related questions of what it means to take direct part in hostilities) have developed in the course of the last several years. In so doing, it will underscore that the development of the law in this area remains for the time being largely in the hands of States, and, in particular, their executive branches. It will also give a sense of where like-minded States with which the U.S. government works particularly closely have reached consensus in this area, as well as identify some areas where there remains a range of views. To keep the scope of this exercise manageable, the paper will keep a narrow focus on the threshold for membership in organized armed groups and direct participation in hostilities on the non-State side of a NIAC. It will not address a number of important related questions that also have a bearing on the question of when individuals lose immunity from being made the object of attack in non-international armed conflict, including questions about the point at which armed violence can be deemed an armed conflict, the level of cohesion that is required in order to deem an organization an "organized armed group," the circumstances under which an organized armed group can be said to be engaged in armed conflict, the geographic scope of armed conflict and the circumstances in which legal rules outside the law of armed conllict may be relevant.

War and peace : where is the divide ? / Charles Garraway. - In: International law studies, Vol. 88, 2012, p. 93-115in recent years, the initial threshold of armed conflict has again become relevant. This has been caused to some extent by the success of those who have sought, for humanitarian reasons, to merge the rules relating to international and non-international armed conflict, but also by politicians, who have sought to take advantage of the greater freedom of action normally granted to States in time of war by seeking to apply the laws of war in areas beyond their traditional field. The tensions have led to a debate that has suffered from a seeming inability by


17

different sides to understand where others are coming from. It has become multifaceted and in some cases issues have been lost in confusion over vocabulary. This article will seek to look at how the problems have arisen and whether there is still room for a comprehensive approach that will accommodate to some extent all the competing factions.

Shooting to kill : socio-legal perspectives on the use of lethal force / ed. by Simon Bronitt, Miriam Gani and Saskia Hufnagel. - Oxford ; Portland : Hart, 2012. - XVII, 324 p. : diagr., tabl. ; 24 cm. - (Oñati international series in law and society). - Index. - ISBN 9781849462921This book brings together perspectives from different disciplinary fields to examine the significant legal, moral and political issues which arise in relation to the use of lethal force in both domestic and international law. These issues have particular salience in the counter terrorism context following 9/11, however concerns about the use of excessive force are not confined to the terrorist situation. The essays in this collection examine how the state sanctions the use of lethal force in varied ways : through the doctrines of public and private self-defence and the development of legislation and case law that excuses or justifies the use of lethal force in the course of executing an arrest, preventing crime or disorder or protecting private property. An important theme is how the domestic and international legal orders intersect and continually influence one another. While legal approaches to the use of lethal force share common features, the context within which force is deployed varies greatly. Key issues explored in this volume are the extent to which domestic and international law authorise pre-emptive use of force, and how necessity and reasonableness are legally contructed in this context.345/619

Des combattants, non des bandits : le statut des rebelles en droit islamique / Sadia Tabassum. - In: Revue internationale de la Croix-Rouge : sélection française, Vol. 93, 2011/1, p. 105-126Le droit islamique relatif à la rébellion constitue un ensemble de normessuffisamment complet pour réglementer la conduite des hostilités dans les conflits armés non internationaux. Ce droit peut être pris pour modèle en vue d’améliorer le régime juridique international aujourd’hui en vigueur. Il offre en effet un critère objectif permettant de déterminer l’existence d’un conflit armé. De plus, il reconnaît le statut de combattant aux rebelles, ainsi que les corollaires nécessaires de l’autorité exercée de facto par les rebelles sur le territoire qu’ils contrôlent. Il contribue ainsi à réduire les souffrances des civils et des citoyens ordinaires pendant les guerres de rébellion et les guerres civiles. Parallèlement, le droit islamique affirme que le territoire se trouvant de facto sous le contrôle des rebelles fait de jure partie de l’État parent : il répond ainsi aux appréhensions de ceux qui craignent que l’octroi du statut de combattant aux rebelles vienne conférer une légitimité à leur lutte.

Teaching international law, a threat to national security ? : the US Supreme Court's Holder v. humanitarian law project decision / Daniel Wisehart. - In: Humanitäres Völkerrecht : Informationsschriften = Journal of international law of peace and armed conflict, Vol. 25, 4/2012, p. 210-212The Holder decision of the US Supreme Court exemplifies the tendency of criminalising humanitarian aid when fighting international terrorism. This articles shows the incompatibility ofthe judgment with regard to principles of international humanitarian law and humanitarian aid. The judgment has aroused passionate ebates in the American academia, but was barely recognised on the other side of the Atlantic. The present article aims to fill up this gap. The provisions discussed here can be of interest for anyone engaged in the field of humanitarian aid world-wide, since their extraterritorial application is provided for.
