Abstract

Pre-colonial African communities had a well-established system of human rights protection applicable to armed conflicts, which became lost as a result of the break-up of traditional societies. This paper will show that traditional rules can be revived and integrated into future conflict management efforts. The ancient authentically African roots of international humanitarian law (ihl) could serve as receptors forming the basis for ihl and human rights law dissemination. Listening to local communities and learning about their aspirations and cultural practices should inform the peacebuilding programmes which need to be introduced before the cessation of hostilities. In the long run, engaging the armed non-state actors in the development of norms, could help improve certainty and predictability of ihl. Recent efforts by Geneva Call comprising a study of indigenous cultural norms relating to civilians’ protection in Mali underline the growing importance of integrating local approaches in ihl dissemination.

武装冲突法的传统方法
殖民前的非洲社区有一个适用于武装冲突的完善的人权保护制度,而武装冲突由于传统社会的解体而失去。本文将表明,可以恢复传统规则,并将其纳入未来的冲突管理工作中。国际人道主义法古老而真实的非洲根源可以作为受体,构成国际人道主义法律和人权法传播的基础。倾听当地社区的意见,了解他们的愿望和文化习俗,应为在停止敌对行动之前需要实施的建设和平方案提供信息。从长远来看,让武装的非国家行为者参与规范的制定,有助于提高ihl的确定性和可预测性。日内瓦呼吁组织最近作出的努力,包括对马里与保护平民有关的土著文化规范的研究,强调了将当地方法纳入ihl传播的日益重要的意义。

期刊介绍: The Journal of International Humanitarian Legal Studies is a peer reviewed journal aimed at promoting the rule of law in humanitarian emergency situations and, in particular, the protection and assistance afforded to persons in the event of armed conflicts and natural disasters in all phases and facets under international law. The Journal welcomes submissions in the areas of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, international refugee law and international law relating to disaster response. In addition, other areas of law can be identified including, but not limited to the norms regulating the prevention of humanitarian emergency situations, the law concerning internally displaced persons, arms control and disarmament law, legal issues relating to human security, and the implementation and enforcement of humanitarian norms. The Journal´s objective is to further the understanding of these legal areas in their own right as well as in their interplay. The Journal encourages writing beyond the theoretical level taking into account the practical implications from the perspective of those who are or may be affected by humanitarian emergency situations. The Journal aims at and seeks the perspective of academics, government and organisation officials, military lawyers, practitioners working in the humanitarian (legal) field, as well as students and other individuals interested therein.
