This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with the individual criminal liability under international law of NATO commanders for crimes committed by their subordinates in the context of complex, multilateral command and control structures. After analysing the applicable law, the elements that must be fulfilled in order to be able to prosecute commanders and other superiors under the doctrine of Command Responsibility are comprehensively described and the Command, Control & Communication structures within NATO and in NATO-led operations explained. Subsequently, the doctrine of Command Responsibility is applied to the identified structures taking into account the role of a commander acting in a multilateral NATO operation, the role of the Troop Contributing Nation, the methods of conferral of powers as well as the de iure and de facto effective control of such a commander leading a multilateral force. Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der individuellen strafrechtlichen Verantwortlichkeit von NATO-Befehlshabern nach dem Völkerrecht für Straftaten ihrer Untergebenen im Rahmen komplexer, multilateraler Befehls- und Kommandostrukturen. Nach einer Darstellung des anwendbaren Rechts, werden die Voraussetzungen für eine Vorgesetztenverantwortlichkeit von Befehlshabern und anderen Vorgesetzten umfassend beschrieben und die Führungs-, Befehls- und Kommunikationsstrukturen innerhalb der NATO und bei NATO-geführten Einsätzen erläutert. Anschließend wird der Tatbestand der Vorgesetztenverantwortlichkeit unter Berücksichtigung der Stellung eines Befehlshabers in einem multilateralen NATO-Einsatz, der Rolle des truppenstellenden Staates, der Methoden der Befugnisübertragung sowie der de iure und de facto wirksame Kontrolle eines solchen Befehlshabers auf die ermittelten Strukturen angewandt.

Download or read book Cyber Operations and the Use of Force in International Law written by Marco Roscini and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-03-13 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The internet has changed the rules of many industries, and war is no exception. But can a computer virus be classed as an act of war? Does a Denial of Service attack count as an armed attack? And does a state have a right to self-defence when cyber attacked? With the range and sophistication of cyber attacks against states showing a dramatic increase in recent times, this book investigates the traditional concepts of 'use of force', 'armed attack', and 'armed conflict' and asks whether existing laws created for analogue technologies can be applied to new digital developments. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of primary documents and surrounding literature, to investigate whether and how existing rules on the use of force in international law apply to a relatively new phenomenon such as cyberspace operations. It assesses the rules of jus ad bellum and jus in bello, whether based on treaty or custom, and analyses why each rule applies or does not apply to cyber operations. Those rules which can be seen to apply are then discussed in the context of each specific type of cyber operation. The book addresses the key questions of whether a cyber operation amounts to the use of force and, if so, whether the victim state can exercise its right of self-defence; whether cyber operations trigger the application of international humanitarian law when they are not accompanied by traditional hostilities; what rules must be followed in the conduct of cyber hostilities; how neutrality is affected by cyber operations; whether those conducting cyber operations are combatants, civilians, or civilians taking direct part in hostilities. The book is essential reading for everyone wanting a better understanding of how international law regulates cyber combat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1950, when he commissioned the first edition of The Armed Forces Officer, Secretary of Defense George C. Marshall told its author, S.L.A. Marshall, that "American military officers, of whatever service, should share common ground ethically and morally."

Download or read book Counter Terrorism and the Use of Force in International Law written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, Michael Schmitt explores the legality of the attacks against Al Qaeda and the Taliban under the "jus ad bellum," that component of international law that governs when a State may resort to force as an instrument of national policy. Although States have conducted military counterterrorist operations in the past, the scale and scope of Operation Enduring Freedom may signal a sea change in strategies to defend against terrorism. This paper explores the normative limit on counterterrorist operations. Specifically, under what circumstances can a victim State react forcibly to an act of terrorism? Against whom? When? With what degree of severity? And for how long? The author contends that the attacks against Al Qaeda were legitimate exercises of the rights of individual and collective defense. They were necessary and proportional, and once the Taliban refused to comply with U.S. and United Nations demands to turn over the terrorists located in Afghanistan, it was legally appropriate for coalition forces to enter the country for the purpose of ending the ongoing Al Qaeda terrorist campaign. However, the attacks on the Taliban were less well grounded in traditional understandings of international law. Although the Taliban were clearly in violation of their legal obligation not to allow their territory to be used as a terrorist sanctuary, the author suggests that the degree and nature of the relationship between the Taliban and Al Qaeda may not have been such that the September 11 attacks could be attributed to the Taliban, thereby disallowing strikes against them in self-defense under traditional understandings of international law. Were the attacks, therefore, illegal? Not necessarily. Over the past half-century the international community's understanding of the international law governing the use of force by States has been continuously evolving. The author presents criteria likely to drive future assessments of the legality of counterterrorist operatio7.
