Laws of war

relationships, external environment, and ecosystem have also been denaturised. I will also take a look at scholarly definitions of war and how they may be applied to the issue at hand. Finally, I will examine the United Nation’s doctrine and deem whether these attacks should be considered aggressive acts made by China, and what may

served to them by the military commissions he had proposed. They were to be put under the custody of the CIA where they would get what Bush thought they deserved and thanks to the Bybee Memo, Bush had complete, unlimited power when it came to core war matters such as this. While constitutional, the actions of the Bush administration as he went behind Congress’s back and came up with a new definition for torture

relates to strategy, morality, ethics, international laws and norms, and the justified use of force. The ideas and theories of jus ad bellum and jus in bello are especially relevant to an air campaign because of airpower’s aforementioned crippling potential. However, many scholars also agree that jus post bellum is a subject worthy of further exploration and one can be certain that airpower will continue to play a role in the aftermath of war. This paper will address the complex relationship between

another example of wholesome disregard for the basic rules of war in the Syrian conflict” (Medecins Sans Frontieres, 2016). Organizations such as the ICRC, SARC and MSF are supposed to be protected during times of war. In a very broad aspect, they are protected under humanitarian law, which is a part of International law. Humanitarian law protects those who are not or are no longer participating in the hostilities (ICRC, 2004). The law also restricts the use of warfare against these individuals

scholarly definitions of war and how they may be applied to the issue at hand. Finally, I will examine the United Nation’s doctrine and deem whether these attacks should be considered aggressive acts made by China, and what may result. Before state sanctioned cyber-attacks against U.S. organizations, infrastructure, and government can be analyzed, the concepts and environment surrounding the issue must be explored. These concepts include the traditional theoretical views of war and armed conflict, the

Moreover, the use of “stability” may be euphemism for the US dominated world order post 1945 and the Cold War. Thus, one may view Clinton’s speech with skepticism. Nonetheless, Clinton was correct to justify the necessity of the use of force in order to prevent the imminent threat of ethnic cleansing and crimes against

States government as one of the main weapons in ‘war against terrorism.’ An unmanned aircraft was first used by Elmer Sperry, creator of the gyroscope, when sinking a German captured battleship, but its usage for military purposes began after 1985 (Shaw, 2012, p. 1490). As the United States initiated the use drones against Al-Qaeda and Taliban forces, vast criticism sparked throughout the world questioning its legality under the international law. In this paper, I will focus on the

related to the events occurring in Syria and the potential violation by the Syrian government of customary international law and relevant treaties and conventions in the use of chemical weapons against its own people. The conflict itself has history which is required to be thoroughly examined before conclusions can be placed and actions are to be carried out. The Syrian Civil War has not only affected the lives of Syria’s citizens but has becoming a pressing issue in direct international relations

(2005) all contend it is an exemplary case of preventive force used justifiably as it illustrates how there should be no blanket provision against preventive force under the just war theory. These scholars note that neither the Caroline Test nor the definition of preemption require alteration. However, the tenets of just war theory should be used to arbitrate if the preventive action was justifiable. They are good examples of supporters of the Reform position in this debate. McMahan even goes so far

domestically and internationally. Therefore we use it. The international humanitarian laws that apply to targeted strikes can be found in the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and its two Additional Protocols, the 1907 Hague Regulations, and the customary laws of war. The strikes would be breaking the terms, but international human rights laws are suspended during times of conflict by the laws of war. The laws of war allow attacks only against military objectives, such as enemy fighters, or weapons and
