This book was released on 2012 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi le DIH peine-t-il a etre admis comme norme devant regir le comportement des soldats de la paix lors des missions complexes? C'est l'exercice auquel l'auteur de cet ouvrage s'est livre, pour prouver que le DIH devrait etre le socle des conflits dans lesquels une operation de paix est en cours. Partant de la definition originale de Jean Pictet qui revele deux dimensions de cette discipline, droit de la guerre et droits de l'homme, l'auteur s'est base sur ce dernier aspect pour mener une analyse minutieuse afin d'amener tout lecteur, a admettre la necessite d'une entiere prise en compte du DIH dans les operations de paix. En effet, la dimension humaine contenue dans les textes de DIH fait de ce droit une norme universelle, opposable a toutes les entites presentes dans un conflit, fussent-elles appelees forces agissant sous la banniere des Nations Unies. Il y va de l'interet de ces forces que le DIH leur soit applicable... Le lectorat concerne releve aussi bien de l'arene universitaire que de la sphere decisionnelle au sein des Etats ou des organisations internationales. D'autres peuvent egalement se sentir concernes par cet ouvrage; qu'ils en fassent un bon usage...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If subjecting war to law is one of the most important legal achievements of the 20th century, progressing further in that direction is one of the most important challenges for the 21st century. The problems it poses are many: the term “war” has formally fallen into disuse and we talk about “peacekeeping”; armies are today the product of cooperation between states and international organizations; private contractors increasingly participate in warlike activities, as the case of the Iraq war demonstrates; and the lines between war and very serious forms of crime (terrorism, organized crime) are increasingly blurred. This volume compiles the contributions presented at XVth International Congress on Social Defence, and tackle the criminal-legal issues raised by these new scenarios. It constitutes an innovative volume, gathering together the work of both academic and military authors, who have drawn on their theoretical and practical experience.

Download or read book Protection of Personnel in Peace Operations written by Ola Engdahl and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1994 Convention on the Safety of United Nations and Associated Personnel (Safety Convention) was the first multilateral convention to deal specifically with the protection of personnel engaged in peace operations. It should be viewed against the background of the increasingly volatile environments in which peace operation personnel were required to operate at the beginning of the 1990s. An Optional Protocol, extending the automatic application of the Safety Convention to new categories of operation, was adopted in December 2005. Protection, which a host government is responsible for securing for personnel in peace operations, may be categorised as general and special protection. The former includes, for example, human rights law and international humanitarian law. The latter comprises privileges and immunities accorded to agents of states or organisations. The contribution of the Safety Convention is mainly one of interstate penal law co-operation. States parties are obligated to co-operate in order to effectively prosecute the perpetrators of stipulated crimes. The protection afforded by the Safety Convention may therefore be categorised as being part of an emerging legal regime against impunity. An effective protection needs to address the specific challenges surrounding peace operations. Some of these challenges, identified in this study, are related to the interplay between the rules of peace and war as well as responsibility and accountability of protected personnel. It is also contended that there is a need for an effective implementation of existing rules, and a careful development of so-called status-of-forces agreements applicable in peace operations.
