Abstract This article explores the legal obligations of Occupying Powers with regard to climate change adaptation for local populations and their environment under the law of occupation, specifically in the context of prolonged belligerent occupations. It focuses on the critical matter of water and food security, in light of the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events. After shedding light on the intricate issues that arise at the intersection of climate change and belligerent occupation, the article argues that the general obligations incumbent upon the Occupying Power under occupation law, when viewed through a climate lens, can be construed as addressing the heightened climate vulnerability faced by occupied populations.
摘要本文探讨了占领国在占领法下为当地居民及其环境适应气候变化方面的法律义务,特别是在长期交战占领的背景下。鉴于极端天气事件日益频繁和严重,该计划侧重于水和粮食安全这一关键问题。在阐明了气候变化和交战占领的交叉点所产生的复杂问题之后,文章认为占领国根据占领法所承担的一般义务,从气候角度来看,可以解释为解决被占领人口面临的日益严重的气候脆弱性。

Analyses of the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence often focus on the principles’ meanings and/or the challenges of applying them in practice. This article, by contrast, steps back to address foundational but somewhat neglected questions about whether these principles can accurately be designated “the” humanitarian principles; about how they came to govern the whole humanitarian sector; about their legal character and normative content; and, more fundamentally, about whether the principles can even have objective character and content. It begins by defining “humanitarian principles” and determining whether and on what basis certain principles constitute “the” humanitarian principles. The article then traces the history of how the principles came to govern the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and diffused from there to non-governmental organizations and the United Nations system. It then analyzes the principles’ legal character and normative content for each of the above-mentioned categories of actor plus States, demonstrating that the principles do not – and, legally, cannot – have fixed legal character and normative content. While humanitarian actors share common understandings of the principles, legally the character and content of each principle flows from its source for the actor in question.
对人道主义原则(人道、中立、公正和独立)的分析往往侧重于这些原则的含义和/或在实践中应用这些原则所面临的挑战。相比之下,本文将回过头来解决一些基本但有些被忽视的问题,即这些原则是否可以准确地称为“人道主义原则”;他们是如何管理整个人道主义领域的;论其法律性质和规范内容;更根本的是,这些原则是否具有客观的性质和内容。它首先界定“人道主义原则”,并确定某些原则是否构成“人道主义原则”,以及在什么基础上构成“人道主义原则”。然后,文章追溯了这些原则如何成为国际红十字和红新月运动的指导原则,并从那里扩散到非政府组织和联合国系统的历史。然后分析上述每一类行为人加国家的原则的法律性质和规范性内容,表明这些原则没有- -而且在法律上也不可能- -具有固定的法律性质和规范性内容。虽然人道主义行为体对这些原则有共同的理解,但在法律上,每项原则的性质和内容对有关行为体来说都是由其来源决定的。

Criminalizing reprisals against the natural environment 将对自然环境的报复定为犯罪

Throughout history, armed conflicts have frequently seen serious harm committed against the natural environment. From the early 1960s to 1971, the United States used Agent Orange to defoliate large tracts of Vietnamese forests. In the 1990s, Saddam Hussein vengefully ordered the burning of Kuwaiti oil wells, resulting in massive pollution to the air, land and surrounding seas. More recently, ecocentric harm has been documented in the Colombian civil war, by the so-called Islamic State group, and in the Ukraine conflict, among others. Whilst international humanitarian law (IHL) contains several prohibitions against environmental harm, the most striking is Article 55(2) of Additional Protocol I, whereby “[a]ttacks against the natural environment by way of reprisals are prohibited”. Although this provision appears absolute and unconditional, critical questions persist regarding its status under customary international law and its applicability in non-international armed conflicts. Moreover, its criminalization has not been explored in the jurisprudence of international courts or in the relevant scholarly literature, despite the fact that penal sanctions against individuals are an important factor for enforcement of environmental protections. To fill the lacuna, the following analysis examines the prohibition and criminalization of reprisals against the natural environment. It reviews conventional and customary international law to determine the current status of a putative criminal prohibition and its potential as lex ferenda. Importantly, it also assesses the relevance of reprisals against the natural environment for prosecutions under existing war crimes, such as attacks on civilian objects and destruction of enemy property. It generates novel insights for the application of international law to ecocentric harm, including that (1) reprisals against the natural environment are not criminal per se, but (2) conceptualizing the environment as a civilian object opens up clear paths for prosecuting attacks, including reprisals, against it; (3) the inherently intentional nature of reprisals has far-reaching implications for their prosecution; (4) reprisals can significantly impact the pivotal test of military necessity which arises in criminal prohibitions such as that found in Article 8(2)(b)(iv) of the Rome Statute; and (5) situations of reprisals could impact the application of the proposed definition of ecocide. Traversing IHL and international criminal law (ICL), the article identifies ways in which these traditionally anthropocentric bodies of law can be reoriented to accommodate ecocentric values. This reconceptualization is significant, as the prospect of criminal sanctions is critical for deterring potential perpetrators and potentially adds a basis for reparations designed to remediate damage to the environment. The assessment redresses the fact that the natural environment has been seen as a peripheral matter under both IHL and ICL and has
纵观历史,武装冲突经常对自然环境造成严重破坏。从20世纪60年代初到1971年,美国使用橙剂对越南大片森林进行落叶处理。上世纪90年代,萨达姆·侯赛因(Saddam Hussein)报复性地下令烧毁科威特的油井,对空气、陆地和周围海域造成了严重污染。最近,所谓的伊斯兰国(Islamic State)组织在哥伦比亚内战和乌克兰冲突等事件中都记录了生态中心主义的危害。虽然国际人道主义法载有几项禁止破坏环境的规定,但最引人注目的是《第一附加议定书》第55(2)条,其中“禁止以报复的方式攻击自然环境”。虽然这项规定似乎是绝对和无条件的,但它在习惯国际法下的地位及其在非国际性武装冲突中的适用性问题仍然存在。此外,尽管对个人的刑事制裁是执行环境保护的一个重要因素,但国际法院的判例或有关的学术文献并未探讨将其定为刑事犯罪。为了填补这一空白,下面的分析探讨了对自然环境的报复行为的禁止和刑事定罪。它审查了常规国际法和习惯国际法,以确定一项假定的刑事禁令的现状及其作为习惯法的潜力。重要的是,它还评估了针对自然环境的报复行为与根据现有战争罪进行起诉的相关性,例如攻击民用物体和破坏敌方财产。它为将国际法应用于以生态为中心的伤害产生了新的见解,包括:(1)对自然环境的报复本身不是犯罪行为,但(2)将环境概念化为民用物体,为起诉针对自然环境的攻击(包括报复)开辟了明确的途径;(3)报复行为固有的故意性质对起诉具有深远影响;(4)报复可以严重影响刑事禁令中产生的军事必要性的关键检验,例如《罗马规约》第8(2)(b)(四)条所规定的;(5)报复行为会影响生态灭绝定义的适用。本文通过国际人道法和国际刑法(ICL),确定了这些传统上以人类为中心的法律体系可以重新定位以适应生态中心价值观的方法。这种重新定义意义重大,因为刑事制裁的前景对于阻止可能的犯罪者至关重要,并可能为旨在弥补环境损害的赔偿增加基础。评估纠正了这样一个事实,即自然环境在国际人道法和国际刑事法下都被视为一个边缘问题,尽管包括武装冲突期间在内的自然遭到持续破坏,但自然环境仍未得到充分探讨。它旨在将环境提升到这些法律制度下的核心保护价值,以反映我们日益意识到自然环境对当代和后代的福祉至关重要,并日益认识到保护自然的内在重要性。

Gender, conflict and the environment: Surfacing connections in international humanitarian law 性别、冲突与环境:国际人道法中浮现的联系

Both gender and the environment have traditionally been positioned at the periphery of international humanitarian law (IHL). In recent decades, there has been important progress in moving both concerns closer to its centre; to date, however, an understanding of the intersection of gender and the environment in the legal regulation of armed conflict remains largely underdeveloped. Nevertheless, as the present article documents, there are important similarities in strategies pursued to advance both gender and the environment from the periphery to the mainstream of IHL, namely: first, a focus on sources of IHL, in particular concretizing arguably limited specific treaty content with interpretive guidance and implementation frameworks; second, a conceptual critique of prevailing definitions of “harm” in IHL; and third, advancing, through close empirical documentation and household-level analysis of conflict's effects, understandings of harm that capture so-called “second-round” effects of conflict. Recognizing these important affinities between gender and environment work in IHL, this article draws on these insights to propose a typology of gendered environmental harm in conflict. The article concludes with proposals for enhancing the legal and operational capture under IHL of the gender–conflict–environment nexus.
性别和环境问题历来被置于国际人道法的边缘。近几十年来,在将这两种关切更靠近其中心方面取得了重要进展;然而,迄今为止,对武装冲突的法律规制中性别和环境的相互关系的理解仍然很大程度上欠发达。然而,正如本文所述,从国际人道法的边缘向主流推进性别和环境的战略有重要的相似之处,即:首先,关注国际人道法的来源,特别是通过解释性指导和实施框架具体化可能有限的具体条约内容;第二,对国际人道法中流行的“伤害”定义进行概念性批判;第三,通过密切的经验文献和家庭层面的冲突影响分析,促进对危害的理解,抓住冲突的所谓“第二轮”影响。认识到国际人道法中性别与环境工作之间的这些重要联系,本文根据这些见解提出了冲突中性别环境危害的类型学。文章最后提出了在国际人道法下加强对性别冲突-环境关系的法律和业务把握的建议。

While the law of State responsibility, particularly the principle of full reparation, provides general guidance for achieving full reparation, it is not quite obvious what kinds of reparation qualify as “full” and how to actualize full reparation. This article centres on the principles, approaches and methods surrounding full reparation for armed conflict-related environmental damage in the law of State responsibility. It examines how the environment is legally defined as an object of protection under international law, and discusses practical challenges in international compensation for wartime environmental damage. In doing so, it ascertains the underlying objective of full reparation, develops an approach to assessing wartime environmental damage, and draws on experiences of international jurisprudence to quantify compensation for wartime environmental damage.
虽然国家责任法,特别是充分赔偿原则为实现充分赔偿提供了一般指导,但不十分清楚的是,什么样的赔偿符合“充分”的条件,以及如何实现充分赔偿。本条的中心是国家责任法中关于充分赔偿与武装冲突有关的环境损害的原则、途径和方法。它考察了环境如何在国际法下被法律定义为保护对象,并讨论了战时环境损害的国际赔偿中的实际挑战。在此过程中,它确定了充分赔偿的基本目标,发展了一种评估战时环境损害的方法,并借鉴国际法理学的经验来量化战时环境损害的赔偿。

The 2022 Political Declaration on the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas: A tool for protecting the environment in armed conflict? 2022年关于在人口稠密地区使用爆炸性武器的政治宣言:武装冲突中保护环境的工具?

In November 2022, eighty-three States endorsed the Political Declaration on Strengthening the Protection of Civilians from the Humanitarian Consequences Arising from the Use of Explosive Weapons in Populated Areas (Political Declaration). The Political Declaration is a new and significant development in the long-standing and ongoing efforts to protect civilians from the use of explosive weapons in populated areas – an issue which has been of growing concern for a number of states, the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and civil society for more than a decade. The use of explosive weapons in populated areas has been documented to result in widespread civilian deaths and injuries as well as longer-term harm to civilians resulting from damage to or the destruction of hospitals, water and sanitation systems and electrical power grids. Although less researched, the use of explosive weapons in populated areas also plays a prominent role in damaging and destroying the environment in situations of armed conflict. This article examines the potential of the new Political Declaration for strengthening the protection of the environment. An express reference to the environment, and the impact of explosive weapons thereon, exists only in the Declaration's preamble, but the lack of express references to the environment in the Declaration's operative commitments does not mean it lacks potential as a tool for strengthening the protection of the environment. On the contrary, the preambular reference provides an important basis on which to argue that the armed forces of endorsing States must consider the protection of the environment in their efforts to implement a number of the Declaration's key operational commitments.
2022年11月,83个国家批准了《关于加强保护平民免受在人口稠密地区使用爆炸性武器所产生的人道主义后果的政治宣言》(《政治宣言》)。《政治宣言》是保护平民免遭爆炸性武器在人口稠密地区使用的长期和持续努力的一个新的重大发展——十多年来,这一问题一直是许多国家、联合国、红十字国际委员会和民间社会日益关注的问题。有记录表明,在人口稠密地区使用爆炸性武器造成了广泛的平民伤亡,并因医院、供水和卫生系统以及电网遭到破坏或破坏而对平民造成长期伤害。虽然研究较少,但在人口稠密地区使用爆炸性武器在武装冲突局势中对破坏和破坏环境也起着突出作用。本文探讨了新的《政治宣言》在加强环境保护方面的潜力。明确提到环境以及爆炸性武器对环境的影响只存在于《宣言》的序言中,但是《宣言》的执行承诺中没有明确提到环境并不意味着它没有潜力成为加强环境保护的工具。相反,序言部分的提及提供了一个重要的基础,可以据以争辩说,核可国家的武装部队在努力执行《宣言》的一些关键行动承诺时必须考虑到保护环境。

The obligation to prevent environmental harm in relation to armed conflict 防止与武装冲突有关的环境损害的义务
IF 0.7 4区 社会学 Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-07-05 DOI: 10.1017/s1816383123000231

The scope of protection of the environment in relation to armed conflict has continued to expand since the issue was first introduced on the international agenda in the 1970s. Today, it is recognized that the environment is a prima facie civilian object and as such it is entitled to the same layers of protection during an armed conflict as any civilian person or object. Thus, there is a legal obligation to prevent environmental harm in armed conflict, before the event. Given the magnitude of environmental damage that can be anticipated in relation to armed conflict, the obligation to prevent such damage in the first place is critical. In this regard, it is important to note that the legal obligation to prevent environmental harm originates from international environmental law. Furthermore, the obligation to prevent harm is an ongoing obligation. This article illustrates that the general preventive obligations found in international environmental law can shed much-needed light on the general preventive obligations already established under the law of armed conflict, in furtherance of environmental protection.
自从这个问题在1970年代首次列入国际议程以来,与武装冲突有关的环境保护的范围继续扩大。今天,人们认识到,环境是一个表面上的民用物体,因此,在武装冲突期间,它有权得到与任何平民或平民物体相同的层层保护。因此,法律上有义务在武装冲突发生之前防止环境损害。考虑到与武装冲突有关的环境破坏的规模,首先防止这种破坏的义务是至关重要的。在这方面,必须指出,防止环境损害的法律义务起源于国际环境法。此外,防止损害的义务是一项持续的义务。该条说明,国际环境法中规定的一般预防性义务可以对武装冲突法中已经规定的促进环境保护的一般预防性义务提供急需的说明。

This article illustrates that the general preventive obligations found in international environmental law can shed much-needed light on the general preventive obligations already established under the law of armed conflict, in furtherance of environmental protection.","PeriodicalId":46925,"journal":{"name":"International Review of the Red Cross","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90105792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A possible legal framework for the exploitation of natural resources by non-State armed groups 为非国家武装团体开采自然资源建立一个可能的法律框架

The law of belligerent occupation permits the Occupying Power to administer and use the natural resources in the occupied territory under the rules of usufruct. This provision has no counterpart in the provisions of humanitarian law applicable to non-international armed conflicts, which may suggest that any exploitation of natural resources by non-State armed groups is illegal. The International Committee of the Red Cross's updated 2020 Guidelines on the Protection of the Environment in Armed Conflict did not touch on this issue, and nor did the International Law Commission in its 2022 Draft Principles on the Protection of the Environment in Relation to Armed Conflicts, where it applied the notion of sustainable use of natural resources instead of usufruct. The present paper aims to fill this gap. It first reviews the development of the concept of usufruct and then studies whether the current international law entitles non-State armed groups with de facto control over a territory to exploit natural resources. By delving into the proposals raised by some commentators to justify such exploitation for the purpose of administering the daily life of civilian populations, the paper advocates for a limited version of this formula as the appropriate lex ferenda. In the final section, the paper discusses how situations of disaster, as circumstances which may preclude the wrongfulness of the act, may justify the exploitation of natural resources by non-State armed groups in the current international legal order.
交战国占领法允许占领国根据用益权规则管理和使用被占领领土内的自然资源。这一规定在适用于非国际性武装冲突的人道主义法的规定中没有对应的规定,这可能表明非国家武装团体对自然资源的任何开采都是非法的。红十字国际委员会更新的2020年《武装冲突中环境保护指南》没有涉及这一问题,国际法委员会在其2022年《与武装冲突有关的环境保护原则草案》中也没有涉及这一问题,其中应用了自然资源可持续利用的概念,而不是用益物权。本文旨在填补这一空白。它首先审查用益物权概念的发展,然后研究现行国际法是否赋予非国家武装团体对领土的实际控制以开发自然资源的权利。通过深入研究一些评论者提出的为管理平民日常生活的目的而进行这种剥削辩护的建议,本文件主张将这一公式的有限版本作为适当的法表。在最后一节中,本文讨论了在目前的国际法律秩序下,作为可能排除不法行为的情况的灾难情况如何可以证明非国家武装团体开采自然资源是正当的。
