The legality of military self-defense



what to pack in a survival backpack

SROE outlines, among other laws in military legislation, the principle of military defense as an extension for unit self defense. The concept of self defence is also mentioned by the ICRC Commentary on Additional Protocols. We have articles that answer questions regarding the legality, lawfulness and legality military self defense. We will discuss the basics and address some of your most common questions. We'll also discuss the limitations of military self-defense. You'll then be prepared to defend yourself.

SROE defines self-defense as an extension of unit self-defense

The SROE (or standard rules of engagement) defines military or national self defense as an extension to unit-based self defence. The SROE was established to assist commanders in exercising national and international self-defense. However, national self defense has been confused with individual self protection under criminal law. This change came as the US entered non-international conflicts. It left the US military without clear and often conflicting self defense options.

In the SROE, a threat is considered imminent when a person demonstrates hostile intent. However, a threat does not have to be immediate or even imminent in order to trigger self-defense. Unlike criminal law and other legal systems, the SROE uses similar definitions for national, unit and individual self defense. The SROE also identifies a triggering event as a hostile or demonstrative of hostile intent.

ICRC Commentary to the Additional Protocols mentions self-defense

According to the ICRC Commentary, the Additional Protocol, any hostilities participant must provide humane treatment to all civilians held in its custody. This includes the treatment of the wounded. The article prohibits violence against civilians, and sets high standards for hostages and prisoners. Furthermore, the article requires that all attacks against civilians be proportionate. That is, incidental injury and collateral damage must not exceed the expected concrete military benefit. Additionally, all targeting must be justified by reasonable expectations of civilian safety.

Articles in the Additional Protocols include provisions for civilian protection in a broader context. These provisions cover structures such as bridges and power plants, chemical factories, fuel storage depots, and chemical factories. Some of these structures could be civilian-protected. Others may not. A civilian-protected building may be an example of a civilian-defense measure, despite the fact that the ICRC Commentary to the Additional Protocols does not mention its application in this context.


ICRC Commentary

The ICRC just released an Interpretive Guidance regarding military self defense. This will change the nature a cross-border war to how the territorial state consents to force. However, this Commentary also reveals a flaw. In the first place, it is not legally binding. State practices and agreements are the only way to create binding laws. But this Interpretive Guidance is the result of the tireless efforts of the ICRC and its experts. This is a normative paradigm which outlines how to approach these situations.

The ICRC initially believed that an armed attack against civilians on the territory a state's territory does not necessarily amount to an act of war. However, the Commentary now concludes that the 1958 interpretation was too narrow. Although the IAC does NOT require that a country intervene in conflict, it does permit it to use military force against civilians. But the ICRC believes that an armed conflict exists when one state uses force against another, and that armed force is necessary to protect civilians.
