Abstract The discrimination faced every day by LGBTQIA+ individuals does not disappear during armed conflict. On the contrary, such persons have been, and continue to be, targeted for particularly heinous human rights violations due to their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. And while international human rights law has, in the last two decades, made significant leaps in prohibiting discrimination on these grounds, international criminal law lags behind. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court only criminalizes persecution, an extreme form of discrimination, on grounds of gender and other grounds universally recognized in international law rather than on grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity. In the absence of clear textual criminalization of queer persecution, this article argues international law can be queerly reinterpreted to fit sexual orientation and gender identity into the confines of ‘gender’. However, while acknowledging the normative and expressive gains that could come from using international criminal law to pursue queer persecution, this article also notes the costs, including the flattening of queer discrimination into the narrow rubric of gender and suppressing its more radical principles. Therefore, while concluding international criminal law can be queerly reinterpreted, this article expresses doubts as to whether, in fact, it should.
LGBTQIA+群体每天面临的歧视并没有在武装冲突中消失。相反,这些人由于其性倾向和/或性别认同而一直并继续成为特别令人发指的侵犯人权行为的目标。虽然国际人权法在过去二十年中在禁止基于这些理由的歧视方面取得了重大飞跃,但国际刑法却落后了。《国际刑事法院罗马规约》只将基于性别和国际法普遍承认的其他理由而不是基于性取向或性别认同的迫害定为刑事犯罪,这是一种极端形式的歧视。在没有明确的文本将迫害酷儿定为刑事犯罪的情况下,本文认为国际法可以被奇怪地重新解释,以使性取向和性别认同符合“性别”的范围。然而,在承认利用国际刑法对酷儿进行迫害可能带来规范和表达上的好处的同时,本文也指出了代价,包括将酷儿歧视扁平化为狭隘的性别范畴,并压制了其更激进的原则。因此,虽然结论是国际刑法可以奇怪地重新解释,但本条对事实上是否应该重新解释表示怀疑。

The dark legacy of Nuremberg: Inhumane air warfare, judicial desuetudo and the demise of the principle of distinction in International Humanitarian Law 纽伦堡的黑暗遗产:不人道的空战、司法不公和国际人道主义法中区别原则的消亡

Abstract On its seventy-fifth anniversary last year, the Nuremberg war crime trials moved again into the spotlight of public attention. To the present day, Nuremberg is mainly portrayed as the birth of international criminal law being the first tribunal that held individuals accountable for war crimes committed during the Second World War. As we argue in this article, there is an often-overseen dark legacy of Nuremberg as it represents an unused opportunity to establish accountability for inhumane military practices, especially in air warfare, being of tragic influence for the postwar development of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) as a whole. Going beyond the existing criticism already voiced on Nuremberg’s shortcomings, we hold that the Tribunal’s reluctance to prosecute bombing practices sowed the seeds for the decay of IHL by creating institutionalized silences, especially for massive violations of the principle of distinction. The tribunal thereby sidelined pre-war IHL and infected the development of post-war IHL by retroactively legitimating the bombing practices of the Axis powers and at least indirectly of the Allies. We argue that the failure to prosecute ‘total war’-practices and reestablish former restrictive legal structures regarding aerial bombardment has fundamentally eroded the pre-war meaning of the principle of distinction leading to its downfall in the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Convention of 1977. We describe these developments as a form of judicial desuetudo, meaning the abrogation of a rule through its subsequent non-enforcement by an international court during and after massive law violations because of perceived or real political constraints.
去年是纽伦堡战争罪审判的75周年纪念日,它再次成为公众关注的焦点。直到今天,纽伦堡主要被描述为国际刑法的诞生,是第一个对第二次世界大战期间犯下战争罪行的个人负责的法庭。正如我们在本文中所论述的那样,纽伦堡的黑暗遗产往往被忽视,因为它代表了一个未被利用的机会,可以对非人道的军事行为,特别是在空战中,建立问责制,对整个国际人道法的战后发展产生悲剧性影响。除了对纽伦堡审判缺陷的现有批评之外,我们认为,法庭不愿起诉轰炸行为,造成了制度化的沉默,特别是对大规模违反区分原则的行为,从而为国际人道法的衰败埋下了种子。我们认为,未能起诉“全面战争”行为并重新建立以前关于空中轰炸的限制性法律结构,从根本上削弱了区分原则的战前含义,导致其在1977年《日内瓦公约第一附加议定书》中崩溃。我们把这些事态发展描述为一种形式的司法剥夺,意思是在大规模违反法律期间和之后,由于感觉到的或实际的政治限制,国际法院随后不执行一项规则,从而废除一项规则。

The ‘imbroglio’ of ecocide: A political economic analysis 生态灭绝的“纠葛”:政治经济分析

Abstract In this article we adopt a political economic lens to analyse the revival of the concept of ecocide in present international legal scholarship and practice. The current campaign to codify the crime of ecocide under international criminal law represents the epitome of a problem-solving approach, which conceives of the law as external to society and as a corrective to its evils. Yet, a large body of critical literature has drawn attention to the constitutive role of international law and to the problems with its depoliticized approach when it comes to tackling global injustices. We build upon this diverse scholarship to illuminate how the technical, acontextual, and ahistorical legal debate on the codification of ecocide ends up normalizing the violent structures of extractive capitalism and its hierarchies. Further, we situate the proposed crime within the wider context of how international law regulates and constitutes the natural world. Drawing on critiques of sustainable development and of business and human rights discourse, we argue that the ‘imbroglio’ of ecocide, in its current legal definition, lies in presenting ecological preservation and devastation as simultaneously legitimate aims. The article ultimately raises the question of the role of international law in progressive political agendas, a question that could not be more pressing in times of entangled socio-ecological-economic disruptions.
摘要本文从政治经济学的角度分析生态灭绝概念在当前国际法律学术和实践中的复兴。目前将生态灭绝罪编入国际刑法的运动代表了一种解决问题的方法的缩影,这种方法认为法律是社会之外的,是对其罪恶的纠正。然而,大量的批评文献已经提请人们注意国际法的构成作用以及在处理全球不公正问题时其非政治化方法的问题。我们以这些不同的学术成果为基础,阐明关于生态灭绝编纂的技术、背景和非历史的法律辩论是如何最终使掠夺性资本主义及其等级制度的暴力结构正常化的。此外,我们将拟议的罪行置于国际法如何规范和构成自然世界的更广泛背景中。根据对可持续发展以及商业和人权话语的批评,我们认为生态灭绝的“混乱”,在其当前的法律定义中,在于将生态保护和破坏同时作为合法目标。这篇文章最终提出了国际法在进步政治议程中的作用问题,在社会生态经济混乱的时代,这个问题是最紧迫的。

Legal technologies: Conceptualizing the legacy of the 1923 Hague Rules of Aerial Warfare 法律技术:对1923年《海牙空战规则》遗产的概念化

Abstract Many contemporary armed conflicts are shaped by the reliance on airstrikes using traditional fighter planes or remotely piloted drones. As accounts of civilian casualties from airstrikes abound, the ethics and legality of individual airstrikes and broader targeting practices remain contested. Yet these concerns and debates are not new. In fact, a key attempt to regulate aerial warfare was made 100 years ago. In this article, we approach the regulation of aerial warfare through an examination of the 1923 Hague Draft Rules of Aerial Warfare and the contemporary scholarly discussion of these rules. While the Draft Rules have never been converted into a treaty, they embody logics of thinking about civilians, technologies of aerial warfare, and targeting that are still resonating in contemporary discussions of aerial warfare. This article argues for a contextualized understanding of the Draft Rules as an attempt to adapt International Humanitarian Law (IHL) to the new technological realities while maintaining distinctions between different kinds of spaces and non-combatants. We argue that the Draft Rules prefigure later debates about the legality of aerial bombing by tacitly operating with a narrow understanding of the civilian and by offering a range of excuses and justifications for bombing civilians.
当代许多武装冲突都依赖于传统战斗机或遥控无人机进行空袭。尽管关于空袭造成平民伤亡的报道比比皆是,但个别空袭和更广泛的瞄准行动的道德和合法性仍存在争议。然而,这些担忧和争论并不新鲜。事实上,规制空战的关键尝试早在100年前就有了。在本文中,我们通过对1923年海牙空战规则草案的审查和当代对这些规则的学术讨论来接近空战的规则。虽然《规则草案》从未被转化为条约,但它们体现了对平民、空战技术和目标的思考逻辑,这些逻辑仍在当代空战讨论中引起共鸣。本文主张将《规则草案》的背景化理解为使国际人道法适应新的技术现实,同时保持不同类型空间和非战斗人员之间的区别。我们认为,《规则草案》通过对平民的狭隘理解和为轰炸平民提供一系列借口和理由,为后来关于空中轰炸合法性的辩论做了铺垫。

Closing cases with open-source: Facilitating the use of user-generated open-source evidence in international criminal investigations through the creation of a standing investigative mechanism 以开放源码结案:通过建立常设调查机制,促进在国际刑事调查中使用用户生成的开放源码证据

Digital open-source evidence has become ubiquitous in the context of modern conflicts, leading to an evolution in investigative practices within the context of mass atrocity crimes and international criminal law. Despite its extensive promulgation, international criminal tribunals have had few opportunities to address the admissibility of user-generated open-source evidence. Through semi-structured interviews with experts and analyses of primary and secondary sources, this article examines the current standards and practices governing the use of user-generated open-source evidence. Current practices illuminate a number of gaps in the realm of digital open-source evidence in international criminal law. This article posits the establishment of a standing international, investigative mechanism as a solution to a need for increased standardization and co-ordination within the realm of user-generated open-source evidence. By standardizing the collection and use of such evidence, investigative bodies will be prepared to more effectively serve the international justice community.
数字开源证据在现代冲突背景下变得无处不在,导致大规模暴行犯罪和国际刑法背景下调查实践的演变。尽管广泛颁布,但国际刑事法庭很少有机会处理用户提供的开源证据的可采性问题。通过对专家的半结构化访谈和对主要和次要来源的分析,本文考察了管理用户生成的开源证据使用的当前标准和实践。目前的做法说明了国际刑法中数字开源证据领域的一些空白。本文假定建立一个常设的国际调查机制,作为在用户生成的开源证据领域内增加标准化和协调需求的解决方案。通过使这些证据的收集和使用标准化,调查机构将做好准备,更有效地为国际司法界服务。

Sisyphus in robes: International law, legal interpretation and the absurd 穿长袍的西西弗斯:国际法,法律解释和荒谬
IF 1.5 2区 社会学 Q1 LAW Pub Date : 2023-08-29 DOI: 10.1017/s0922156523000389

Legal systems across the world contain the obligation to prevent ‘absurd interpretations’ of law. In international law, an instruction to avoid ‘manifestly absurd’ interpretations can be found in Article 32 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. This gives rise to at least two questions that I will take up in this article. First, what is meant by the ‘absurd’ that is to be avoided in legal interpretation. The short answer to this question is: no one knows exactly. The absurd, by its very nature, resists definition in pre-given categories, as I will argue on the basis of four core thinkers on the absurd: Søren Kierkegaard, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, and Thomas Nagel. The second question is more technical and easier to answer: how should lawyers try to avoid absurd interpretations? Here, I turn to absurdist writing and the theatre of the absurd for assistance. Absurdist writing and theatre have developed a number of techniques to make the absurd appear, to let the audience experience that something is fundamentally out of tune. Lawyers use similar techniques, but in reverse and with an opposite purpose: they add exposition, narrative, reasonable language, and stable, rational legal personae. In this way, they boost the rationality and reasonableness of the legal order. However, to come full circle, it is exactly the pretension of rationality and reasonableness that makes the law vulnerable to manifestations of the absurd. The rationality of law is the springboard for the very same absurdity it tries to suppress.
世界各地的法律体系都有义务防止对法律的“荒谬解释”。在国际法中,可以在《维也纳条约法公约》第32条中找到避免“明显荒谬”解释的指示。这就引出了我将在本文中讨论的至少两个问题。首先,法律解释中应避免的“荒谬”是什么意思。这个问题的简短答案是:没有人确切知道。荒谬,就其本质而言,拒绝在预先给定的类别中定义,正如我将在四位关于荒谬的核心思想家的基础上争论的那样:瑟伦·克尔凯郭尔、让-保罗·萨特、阿尔伯特·加缪和托马斯·纳格尔。第二个问题更具技术性,也更容易回答:律师应该如何避免荒谬的解释?在这里,我转向荒诞派写作和荒诞派戏剧寻求帮助。荒诞派写作和戏剧已经发展出了许多技巧来让荒诞出现,让观众体验到某种根本不合拍的东西。律师使用类似的技巧,但反过来,目的相反:他们添加了阐述、叙述、合理的语言和稳定、理性的法律人物。通过这种方式,他们提升了法律秩序的合理性和合理性。然而,回到原点,正是理性和合理性的伪装使法律容易受到荒谬的表现。法律的合理性是它试图压制的荒谬性的跳板。

Treaty amendments constitute a critical but under-researched aspect of international law. In this article, we present a comprehensive survey of 491 amendment procedures across 691 multilateral environmental agreements. We use this data collection to build a typology of amendment procedures based on various combinations of control, adaptability, and flexibility. We introduce the property space reduction method as a valuable tool for building typology and analysing international law. We find a clear trend towards the inclusion of amendment procedures, which makes treaties increasingly adaptable. This adaptability is generally coupled with flexibility to avoid infringing on consent. As a result, amended treaties risk being increasingly fragmented into differentiated bundles of obligations split among subsets of members. We also examine how key features of treaty membership, such as power distribution, correlate with the occurrence and types of amendment procedures.
条约修正案是国际法的一个关键但研究不足的方面。在这篇文章中,我们对691项多边环境协定中的491项修正程序进行了全面调查。我们利用这些数据收集建立了一个基于控制、适应性和灵活性的各种组合的修正程序类型。我们介绍了房地产空间缩减法,它是建筑类型学和分析国际法的一个有价值的工具。我们发现一个明显的趋势是纳入修正程序,这使条约的适应性越来越强。这种适应性通常与灵活性相结合,以避免侵犯同意。因此,经修正的条约有可能越来越多地分散成不同的义务束,在成员国的子集之间分配。我们还研究了条约成员国的关键特征,如权力分配,如何与修正程序的发生和类型相关联。
