Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manipulé par l'homme à des fins militaires ou victime des effets collatéraux de la guerre, l'environnement sort toujours blessé des conflits armés. Les conséquences environnementales graves de certains conflits, internes ou internationaux, passés ou actuels, posent avec acuité la question de la protection de l'environnement durant ces conflits. Adoptant une démarche positiviste, cette étude examine dans un premier temps comment le droit de la guerre protège aujourd'hui l'environnement. Elle se penche ensuite sur le droit de la paix pour examiner dans quelle mesure les règles, toujours plus nombreuses, du droit international de l'environnement continuent à s'appliquer en temps de conflit armé. L'analyse est complétée par un examen de la mise en oeuvre de la responsabilité internationale dans ce domaine: de la responsabilité étatique, tout d'abord, et des différents problèmes que pose la réparation du préjudice écologique; de la responsabilité individuelle aussi, car certaines évolutions récentes ouvrent des perspectives tout à fait nouvelles sur la répression des auteurs des "crimes écologiques". Deux questions essentielles se posent de façon récurrente tout au long de cette réflexion. La première concerne la difficile conciliation entre les inéluctables "nécessités militaires" et la recherche d'une protection efficace de l'envronnement. La seconde a trait aux finalités même de cette protection. Les tensions entre l'approche anthropocentrique et l'approche intrinsèque de la protection de l'environnement sont en effet encore plus vives en temps de guerre. L'étude essaye alors d' apprécier si ces deux approches sont vouées à demeurer conflictuelles ou si elles peuvent au contraire se compléter utilement

Download or read book Cooperation in the Law of Transboundary Water Resources written by Christina Leb and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-25 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change, population growth and the increasing demand for water are all capable of leading to disputes over transboundary water systems. Dealing with these challenges will require the enhancing of adaptive capacity, the improving of the quality of water-resources management and a reduction in the risk of conflict between riparian states. Such changes can only be brought about through significant international cooperation. Christina Leb's analysis of the duty to cooperate and the related rights and obligations highlights the interlinkages between this duty and the principles of equitable and reasonable utilisation and the prevention of transboundary harm. In doing so, she considers the law applicable to both international watercourses and transboundary aquifers, and explores the complementarities and interaction between the rules of international water law and the related obligations of climate change and human rights law.

Download or read book Detention in Non International Armed Conflict written by Lawrence Hill-Cawthorne and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International law has long differentiated between international and non-international armed conflicts, traditionally regulating the former far more comprehensively than the latter. This is particularly stark in the case of detention, where the law of non-international armed conflict contains no rules on who may be detained, what processes must be provided to review their detention, and when they must be released. Given that non-international armed conflicts are now the most common form of conflict, this is especially worrying, and the consequences of this have been seen in the detention practices of states such as the US and UK in Iraq and Afghanistan. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the procedural rules that apply to detention in non-international armed conflict, with the focus on preventive security detention, or 'internment'. All relevant areas of international law, most notably international humanitarian law and international human rights law, are analysed in detail and the interaction between them explored. The book gives an original account of the relationship between the relevant rules of IHL and IHRL, which is firmly grounded in general international law scholarship, treating the issue as a matter of treaty interpretation. With that in mind, and with reference to State practice in specific non-international armed conflicts - including those in Sri Lanka, Colombia, Nepal, Afghanistan, and Iraq - it is demonstrated that the customary and treaty obligations of States under human rights law continue, absent derogation, to apply to detention in non-international armed conflicts. The practical operation of those rules is then explored in detail. The volume ends with a set of concrete proposals for developing the law in this area, in a manner that builds upon, rather than replaces, the existing obligations of States and non-State armed groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les effets de la guerre sur l'environnement persistent pour des periodes plus ou moins longues meme apres la fin des hostilites. L'environnement est donc devenu au fil du temps un enjeu a part entiere entre les belligerants dans le cadre d'un conflit arme. Ceux-ci font usage des armes qui polluent gravement et durablement l'environnement, mais aussi, grace au progres de la science et de la technologie, ils manipulent les ressources environnementales dans un but militaire, faisant ainsi de la pretention d'une guerre propre une illusion. Les instruments du droit international de l'environnement qui restent pourtant en vigueur en temps de guerre, ne sont pas concus pour faire efficacement face a l'etat de guerre. C'est plutot les regles du droit international humanitaire elaborees dans la perspective de regir les relations entre les belligerants qui sont les mieux a meme de proteger, non sans limites, l'environnement en cas de conflit arme. Ce droit y parvient par la reglementation des moyens et methodes de guerre et par un regime de responsabilite qui vise a sanctionner les graves atteintes a l'environnement."
Download or read book The Law of Targeting written by William H. Boothby and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2012-08-16 with total page 2924 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Targeting is the primary method for securing strategic objectives in an armed conflict. Failure to comply with the law of targeting jeopardizes the achievement of those aims. It is therefore essential that all those involved in or studying issues surrounding targeting have an accurate and complete understanding of this area of law. This book offers the definitive and comprehensive statement of all aspects of the law of targeting. It is a 'one-stop shop' that answers all relevant questions in depth. It has been written in an open, accessible yet comprehensive style, and addresses both matters of established law and issues of topical controversy. The text explains the meanings of such terms as 'civilian', 'combatant', and 'military objective'. Chapters are devoted to the core targeting principles of distinction, discrimination, and proportionality, as well as to the relationship between targeting and the protection of the environment and of objects and persons entitled to special protection. New technologies are also covered, with chapters looking at attacks using unmanned platforms and a discussion of the issues arising from cyber warfare. The book also examines recent controversies and perceived ambiguities in the rules governing targeting, including the use of human shields, the level of care required in a bombing campaign, and the difficulties involved in determining whether someone is directly participating in hostilities. This book will be invaluable to all working in this contentious area of law.

This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La destruction de l'environnement en période de conflit armé est ancienne, mais elle a pris une ampleur démesurée. C'est avec la guerre du Vietnam que cette destruction est devenue un objet essentiel de la stratégie militaire. L'opération Ranch Hand, par laquelle l'aviation étasunienne déversa de l'herbicide (l'Agent orange) sur les forêts vietnamiennes en est l'illustration. Par la suite, d'autres conflits auront recours à des techniques modifiant les conditions environnementales du champ de bataille. S'il est impossible d'éviter toute dégradation au cours du conflit, la préservation de l'environnement peut-elle être érigée en priorité ? N'est-il pas parfois nécessaire de sacrifier l'écosystème au bénéfice des populations ou de la victoire ? Quel équilibre trouver entre les nécessités militaires, humanitaires et la protection de l'environnement ?
