Abstract

While military alliances have always been an important subject of research in international relations, relatively little study has been conducted on them in international law. Even though military alliances have been featured in the wider discussions on regional orders under international law, little systematic effort has been made to assess the extent to which various actions that are routine for or structured into the design and operation of military alliances are compatible with international law. This article aims to fill this gap by examining the implications of certain activities of military alliances under three areas of international law and is divided into three substantive sections. The first section examines how activities such as military exercises, force concentration and coercive demands, when undertaken by a military alliance, could heighten the risk of their violation of the prohibition of the threat of force under the UN Charter. The second section examines how certain standing arrangements of military alliances pre-dispose them to intervene in civil strife in allies or potential allies in potential violation of the norm against intervention in the domestic affairs of another State. The third section examines how, despite their often-explicit deference to the UN Charter, military alliances operate in tension with the collective security architecture of the UN and suggests ways to harmonise them. The article concludes that the sovereign rights of States to form military alliances do not create a carte blanche for military alliances to operate freely from any restraint of international law and calls for a more proactive approach to maintaining international peace and security in view of the complex nature of certain activities of military alliances under international law.

国际法下的军事联盟
虽然军事联盟一直是国际关系中的一个重要研究课题,但国际法中对军事联盟的研究却相对较少。尽管军事同盟一直是国际法中关于区域秩序的广泛讨论的重点,但很少有人系统地评估军事同盟设计和运作的常规或结构化的各种行动在多大程度上符合国际法。本文旨在通过研究军事联盟的某些活动对国际法三个领域的影响来填补这一空白,分为三个实质性部分。第一部分探讨了军事联盟开展的军事演习、武力集中和胁迫性要求等活动如何会增加其违反《联合国宪章》中禁止武力威胁的规定的风险。第二部分探讨了军事同盟的某些长期安排如何使其预先介入盟国或潜在盟国的内乱,从而可能违反禁止干涉他国内政的准则。第三部分探讨了尽管军事联盟经常明确表示服从《联合国宪章》,但它们的运作如何与联合国的集体安全架构产生矛盾,并提出了协调它们的方法。文章的结论是,国家结成军事联盟的主权权利并不意味着军事联盟可以不受任何国际法约束地自由运作,鉴于军事联盟的某些活动在国际法中的复杂性质,文章呼吁采取更加积极主动的方法来维护国际和平与安全。
