Russia’s invasion of Ukraine again proves the essential role of collective non-recognition against unlawful situations, despite contentious debates concerning the status of the principle of non-recognition in the international legal system. However, an old but unsettled question also resurfaces: How should we perceive the relationship between the practice of non-recognition and economic sanctions? Some scholars contend that the practice of non-recognition must entail economic punishments and isolation and be ‘as oppressive as possible’. For quite some time, the economic language has dominated as the only language that matters facing any unlawful situations. Unfortunately, this tendency also undermines a long history of innovative development of other forms of declaratory and institutional non-recognition. This article, by examining the current non-recognition campaign in the case of Ukraine, together with case studies of Manchuria and of the South African apartheid regime, endeavours to provide more perspectives concerning the relationship between non-recognition and economic sanctions. The article argues that, compared to other forms of non-recognition, economic sanctions have never been a reliable factor in demonstrating international attitudes and the legal beliefs of the international community.
俄罗斯入侵乌克兰再次证明了集体不承认对非法局势的重要作用,尽管关于不承认原则在国际法律体系中的地位存在争议。然而,一个古老但悬而未决的问题也再次出现:我们应该如何看待不承认的做法与经济制裁之间的关系?一些学者认为,不承认的做法必须包括经济惩罚和孤立,并且“尽可能具有压迫性”。在相当长的一段时间里,面对任何非法情况,经济语言一直是唯一重要的语言。不幸的是,这种趋势也破坏了其他形式的宣告性和制度性不承认的创新发展的悠久历史。本文通过审查乌克兰目前的不承认运动,以及对满洲和南非种族隔离制度的个案研究,试图就不承认与经济制裁之间的关系提供更多的视角。文章认为,与其他形式的不承认相比,经济制裁从来都不是表明国际态度和国际社会法律信仰的可靠因素。

Roadblocks to Disarmament in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty System 核不扩散条约体系中裁军的障碍

For the last five decades, the states parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) have come together every 5 years at Review Conferences to explore how they can advance the Treaty’s goals, including the pursuit of nuclear disarmament. Despite lengthy negotiations, the Review Conferences have failed to reach a consensus final document as many times as they have succeeded and even when a final document has been agreed it has contained few tangible gains for those working towards a nuclear weapon free world. This state of affairs played out again in 2022 when the NPT’s 10th Review Conference ended without agreement and with many states decrying the weakness of the disarmament provisions that had been under discussion. It has been common in the aftermath of Review Conferences for academics to consider the contemporary political issues that stymied progress. While such studies are important, it is also necessary to consider what deeper structural issues may be at play in preventing the goal of nuclear disarmament from being advanced in the NPT context. To this end, this article identifies and analyses three key structural issues with the NPT and NPT Review Conferences that create difficulties for those pursuing a nuclear disarmament agenda. First, it explores issues with the scope and content of Article VI and how it has been interpreted by the nuclear weapon states. Secondly, it looks at the difficulties that arise from the commitment to achieving consensus outcomes at the Review Conferences and, thirdly, it considers the limitations of who actually attends and contributes to Review Conferences.
在过去的五十年里,《不扩散核武器条约》(不扩散条约)缔约国每五年举行一次审议大会,探讨如何推进《条约》的目标,包括实现核裁军。尽管进行了漫长的谈判,但审议大会多次未能达成协商一致的最后文件,即使达成了最后文件,对那些致力于建立一个无核武器世界的人来说,也几乎没有什么实际成果。2022年,当《不扩散条约》第十次审议大会无协议结束,许多国家谴责正在讨论的裁军条款的弱点时,这种情况再次出现。在审查会议之后,学术界通常会考虑阻碍进展的当代政治问题。虽然这些研究很重要,但也有必要考虑哪些更深层次的结构性问题可能在阻止核裁军目标在《不扩散条约》范围内得到推进方面发挥作用。为此,本文确定并分析了《不扩散条约》和《不扩散核武器条约》审议大会的三个关键结构问题,这些问题给那些寻求核裁军议程的人带来了困难。首先,它探讨了第六条的范围和内容问题,以及核武器国家如何对其进行解释。第二,它着眼于在审查会议上实现协商一致结果的承诺所产生的困难,第三,它考虑到谁真正出席审查会议并为审查会议作出贡献的局限性。

Recent Developments in the National Implementation of Biological Weapons Convention: What Happened Since Resolution 1540? 各国执行生物武器公约的最新进展:自第1540号决议以来发生了什么?

The national implementation of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) has long been a point of discussion. One aspect of this national implementation concerns the enactment of penal legislation addressing the prohibitions of the BWC. There has been a clear increase in the past 18 years of penal legislation addressing biological weapons. This coincides with the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1540. Through a comprehensive assessment of the adopted national legislation it is possible to see trends and consider the extent to which such legislation seeks to address the BWC or Resolution 1540. The assessment clearly indicates that there is a divergence between the legislation addressing biological weapons in a general manner and legislation specifically seeking to address biological weapons in a terrorism context. This analysis will recognize potential avenues to increase national implementation of the BWC by looking at the progress made in the context of Resolution 1540.
各国履行《禁止生物武器公约》的问题一直是各方讨论的焦点。这一国家执行工作的一个方面涉及制定关于禁止《生物武器公约》的刑事立法。在过去18年中,关于生物武器的刑事立法有了明显的增加。与此同时,联合国安理会通过了第1540号决议。通过对通过的国家立法的全面评估,可以看到趋势,并考虑这些立法在多大程度上寻求解决《生物武器公约》或第1540号决议的问题。评估清楚地表明,一般处理生物武器问题的立法与专门处理恐怖主义情况下的生物武器问题的立法之间存在分歧。这一分析将通过考察在第1540号决议范围内取得的进展,确认加强各国执行《生物武器公约》的潜在途径。

Why Prosecuting Aggression in Ukraine as a Crime Against Humanity Might Make Sense 为什么将在乌克兰的侵略行为作为反人类罪起诉可能有意义
IF 0.8 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-07-20 DOI: 10.1093/jcsl/krad009
Frédéric Mégret
The idea that aggression can and maybe should be prosecuted in some instances as a crime against humanity is a marginal one that has nonetheless been floated for a while. This article revisits the idea in the context of efforts to prosecute the leaders of the Russian aggression in Ukraine. It argues that the case that aggression is a crime against humanity has been framed along excessively reductionist lines focusing on ‘other inhumane acts’ as a predicate offence. Instead, the article suggests that there can be a deep overlap between the notion of an armed attack against a state as defining aggression, and the notion of a ‘widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population’ as the chapeau of crimes against humanity. Working at this intersection, it is suggested, makes sense of the special place of aggression as an offence generative of many others, as well as the particular sovereign deliberateness involved in launching an attack. The article explores some of the concerns that such a prosecution might trigger, including that it misses the opportunity to prosecute aggression as such, is in bad faith, or does not cover significant portions of what is rightly considered wrong about aggression. The article concludes in favor of an imaginative take on the substantive law resources that are there rather than the search for new jurisdictional solutions.
在某些情况下,侵略可以而且可能应该作为反人类罪被起诉,这种想法是一种边缘的想法,尽管如此,这种想法已经流传了一段时间。本文在努力起诉俄罗斯侵略乌克兰的领导人的背景下重新审视了这一想法。它认为,侵略是一种危害人类罪的案件是按照过分简化主义的路线构建的,重点是将“其他不人道行为”作为上游犯罪。相反,这篇文章表明,将武装袭击国家定义为侵略的概念与将“广泛或系统袭击平民”定义为危害人类罪的起首部分的概念之间可能存在严重重叠。有人认为,在这个交叉点上工作,可以理解侵略的特殊位置是一种由许多其他人产生的罪行,以及发动攻击所涉及的特殊主权深思熟虑。这篇文章探讨了这种起诉可能引发的一些担忧,包括它错过了起诉侵略的机会,是出于恶意,或者没有涵盖被正确认为是侵略错误的大部分内容。文章的结论支持对现有实体法资源进行富有想象力的处理,而不是寻求新的司法解决方案。

From Theory to Reality: A Definition for the Termination of Non-International Armed Conflicts 从理论到现实:终结非国际性武装冲突的定义
IF 0.8 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-05-10 DOI: 10.1093/jcsl/krad008
Stefan Robert McClean
This article seeks to examine how various theories, which have been designed to determine the end of non-international armed conflicts (NIACs), have been applied in practice. As international humanitarian law is temporal in its application, determining when a conflict legally concludes is vital to assess the rights and duties of parties involved during the final stages of conflict. In order to examine how international law approaches the issue of conflict termination, three case studies are undertaken (Afghanistan, Solomon Islands and Sierra Leone) to examine the practice of the parties involved in the transition out of a NIAC paradigm and into the jus post bellum (law after war). While the article does not seek to identify a clear definition in customary international law as to the nature of a NIACs termination, through an analysis of practice and theory implementation, it is hoped that an improved picture as to how NIACs may conclusively end as a matter of international law can be brought to light.
本文试图研究旨在确定非国际武装冲突结束的各种理论是如何在实践中应用的。由于国际人道主义法的适用是暂时性的,确定冲突何时合法结束对于评估冲突最后阶段各方的权利和义务至关重要。为了研究国际法如何处理终止冲突问题,进行了三个案例研究(阿富汗、所罗门群岛和塞拉利昂),以研究参与从国家情报机构模式过渡到战争后法(战后法)的各方的做法。虽然该条并未试图在习惯国际法中明确界定国家豁免终止的性质,但通过对实践和理论执行情况的分析,希望能够更好地了解国家豁免如何作为国际法事项最终终止。

Taking Stock: Assessing the Current Status and Evolution of the United Nations Security Council’s Legislative Resolutions 评估:评估联合国安理会立法决议的现状和演变

The present essay intends to provide for an in-depth analysis concerning the enactment of new legislative resolutions by the UN Security Council with a view to dealing with foreign terrorist fighters and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant as well. It will be argued that, instead of voicing unweavering concerns about the Council’s increasing tendency to resort to this specific tool, UN Member States have widely welcomed these resolutions, deeming them necessary and proportionate response to urgent threats faced by the International Community as a whole. Accordingly, this has generated a clear distinction between the previous legislative resolutions and the recent ones. As a result, by dwelling more specifically on States’ utterances made during the meetings devoted to discuss these new general resolutions, it is argued that such resolutions are to be looked upon as subsequent practice pursuant to Article 31, paragraph 3(b) of 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), which means that they are relevant in order to interpret Article 41 of the UN Charter. Ultimately, and based on the assumption that States are now more inclined to accept general obligations in the counter-terrorism’s domain, the manuscript addresses the topic of how the UN Security Council should legislate in order to secure the widest acceptance possible and be in accordance with several International Law’s requirements.
本论文旨在深入分析联合国安理会制定的新的立法决议,以处理外国恐怖主义战斗人员和伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国。有人会说,联合国会员国非但没有对安理会越来越倾向于诉诸这一具体工具表示毫不动摇的关切,反而广泛欢迎这些决议,认为它们是对整个国际社会所面临的紧迫威胁的必要和相称的反应。因此,这在以前的立法决议和最近的立法决议之间产生了明显的区别。因此,通过更具体地讨论各国在专门讨论这些新的一般性决议的会议上所作的发言,我们认为,根据1969年《维也纳条约法公约》(VCLT)第31条第3款(b)项,这些决议应被视为后续实践,这意味着它们与解释《联合国宪章》第41条是相关的。最后,基于各国现在更倾向于接受反恐领域的一般义务的假设,该手稿讨论了联合国安理会应如何立法,以确保尽可能广泛的接受,并符合若干国际法要求的主题。

The Imperative of Prosecuting Crimes of Aggression Committed against Ukraine 起诉侵略乌克兰罪行的必要性
IF 0.8 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-03-20 DOI: 10.1093/jcsl/krad004
C. McDougall
As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, we are sitting at a crossroads where one path further weakens the prohibition of the use of force and another helps restore its integrity. In this context, this article argues it is imperative that we take all available steps to reinforce the prohibition, and that holding President Putin to account for the crime of aggression holds the key in this regard. The article explains why it is necessary to establish an ad hoc international tribunal to prosecute crimes of aggression committed against Ukraine given the International Criminal Court lacks jurisdiction over any crime of aggression involving a State not party to the Rome Statute, the impossibility of amending the Statute in this instance, and the impediments that will stand in the way of a successful domestic prosecution of the crime of aggression, including immunities enjoyed by those most responsible. Finally, the article addresses the principal objections to the proposed tribunal including its cost (which is overstated and pales in comparison to the mounting cost of the ongoing conflict); its supposed redundancy given efforts to prosecute other serious international crimes committed in Ukraine (which undersells the challenge of holding leaders to account and discounts the value of separately prosecuting aggression); and the concern that the tribunal would represent selective justice (which overlooks the fact that a prosecution of the leaders of one of the world’s most powerful States would help end, rather than exacerbate, international criminal justice’s selectivity problem).
由于俄罗斯于2022年2月入侵乌克兰,我们正处于一个十字路口,一条道路进一步削弱了对使用武力的禁止,另一条道路有助于恢复其完整性。在这方面,本文认为,我们必须采取一切可能的步骤来加强这一禁令,而追究普京总统对侵略罪的责任是这方面的关键。该条解释了为什么有必要设立一个特设国际法庭来起诉对乌克兰犯下的侵略罪,因为国际刑事法院对涉及非《罗马规约》缔约国的任何侵略罪都没有管辖权,在这种情况下不可能修改《规约》,以及阻碍在国内成功起诉侵略罪的障碍,包括最负责任者享有的豁免。最后,该条阐述了对拟议法庭的主要反对意见,包括其费用(与持续冲突不断增加的费用相比,这被夸大了,相形见绌);考虑到起诉在乌克兰犯下的其他严重国际罪行的努力,其所谓的冗余(这低估了追究领导人责任的挑战,并低估了单独起诉侵略的价值);以及对法庭将代表选择性司法的担忧(这忽略了一个事实,即起诉世界上最强大国家之一的领导人将有助于结束而不是加剧国际刑事司法的选择性问题)。

The Changing Significance of Nationality for the Protection of Civilians in the Hands of a Party to an International Armed Conflict 国籍对于保护国际武装冲突一方手中的平民的变化意义

The Fourth Geneva Convention provides the main protection regime for civilians in the hands of a party to an international armed conflict. Yet its application is limited to non-nationals, and conditional upon states’ belligerent and legal relations. This article historicises and problematises the so-called nationality requirement for the treatment and protection of civilians. The significance of nationality for international humanitarian law has changed considerably since the late nineteenth century. The complex delineation of civilian protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention was, therefore, not inevitable. The article challenges the common perception of the treaty as a humanitarian achievement designed to safeguard innocent and vulnerable civilians. This detailed study of nationality provides insights into the changing perception of civilians as war victims and the role of international humanitarian law in protecting them.
《日内瓦第四公约》为国际武装冲突一方手中的平民提供了主要的保护制度。然而,它的适用仅限于非国民,并以国家的交战关系和法律关系为条件。这篇文章将所谓的对待和保护平民的国籍要求历史化并提出问题。自十九世纪末以来,国籍对国际人道主义法的意义发生了重大变化。因此,根据《日内瓦第四公约》对受保护平民进行复杂的划界并非不可避免。这篇文章挑战了人们普遍认为该条约是一项旨在保护无辜和弱势平民的人道主义成就的看法。这项关于国籍的详细研究深入了解了平民作为战争受害者的观念的变化以及国际人道主义法在保护他们方面的作用。

The complex delineation of civilian protected persons under the Fourth Geneva Convention was, therefore, not inevitable. The article challenges the common perception of the treaty as a humanitarian achievement designed to safeguard innocent and vulnerable civilians. This detailed study of nationality provides insights into the changing perception of civilians as war victims and the role of international humanitarian law in protecting them.","PeriodicalId":43908,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF CONFLICT & SECURITY LAW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41252530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
