Abstract

Abstract This article outlines and evaluates the US perspective on how treaty and customary international law protect the natural environment during international armed conflict. It surveys the relevant treaties to which the United States is a party and examines US views on their pertinent provisions. It then assesses claims that the environmental obligations residing in the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Conventions have attained customary status, outlines the United States’ rejection of those claims, and evaluates the reasonableness thereof. Finally, it highlights ambiguities in certain US environmental positions, the resolution of which would bring much-needed clarity to the law.

武装冲突中的环境保护:评估美国的视角
摘要本文概述并评价了美国在国际武装冲突中条约和习惯国际法如何保护自然环境方面的观点。它调查了美国作为缔约国的有关条约,并审查了美国对其有关条款的看法。然后,它评估了关于1949年《日内瓦公约》1977年《第一附加议定书》中规定的环境义务已达到习惯地位的主张,概述了美国对这些主张的拒绝,并评估了其合理性。最后,它凸显了美国某些环境立场的模糊性,解决这些问题将为法律带来亟需的明确性。
