English

Subject field(s)
  • War and Peace (International Law)
  • Military Law
CONT

Jus in bello, also referred to as international humanitarian law (IHL), applies to all warring parties irrespective of the reasons for the conflict. It does not speak to whether or not the cause of war is just. Instead, this body of law seeks to protect war victims and their fundamental rights, no matter to which party they belong.

CONT

Necessity and proportionality have always been core principles of both branches of the jus belli principles that apply to both the authority to employ military force and the regulation of actual employment. However, in the jus ad bellum context, they have never before been viewed as principles to regulate operational and tactical execution. Instead, in that context they frame the legality of national or multinational resort to military force in self-defense. Once the decision is made to employ force pursuant to this authority, the jus in bello variant of these principles(necessity of the mission and proportionality of collateral damage) operate to regulate the application of combat power during mission execution(in other words, they provide the foundation for the regulation of the application of combat power in the context of the self-defense-justified mission).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Guerre et paix (Droit international)
  • Droit militaire
CONT

Le droit international humanitaire a pour but de limiter les souffrances causées par la guerre en assurant, autant que possible, protection et assistance aux victimes. Il traite donc de la réalité d'un conflit sans considération des motifs ou de la légalité d'un recours à la force. Il en réglemente uniquement les aspects ayant une importance humanitaire. C'est ce que l’on appelle le jus in bello (le droit dans la guerre).

The MCS system provides the primary tactical planning tool for the brigade. Supported by graphics decision support tools, including digital maps, aerial or satellite photos, dynamic 3D "flyover" view of the battlespace, and mobility analysis of the terrain, map overlays with intelligence and battle resources by unit. Commanders can quickly and clearly analyze different courses of action and take decisions based on thorough analysis of up-to-date situational assessment, various maneuver schemes, doctrine, and changes encountered during the course of action. Once detailed plan is determined, the MCS prepare and send warning operations orders, and related annexes. During the mission, the system provides automatic updates of friendly/enemy unit movement locations and battlefield geometry. As all information is maintained on the database, re-tasking of units is rapid and flexible. As an integrated part of the battle command systems, MCS receives information from external sources and updates those sources within predetermined operational plans. Such sources include intelligence, fire support, supply status and air operations requests.

  • Opérations de maintien de la paix
OBS

En vue de la mission de maintien de paix au Cambodge (Autorité provisoire des Nations Unies au Cambodge (APRONUC)), le Secrétaire général a suggéré qu'une mission préparatoire de l'ONU soit mise sur pied pour aider à maintenir le cessez-le-feu en vigueur. La mission préparatoire, qui se composait principalement d'officiers de liaison, devait devenir opérationnelle dès que les Accords de Paris, le règlement politique global du conflit au Cambodge, seraient signés. La mission a officiellement commencé ses opérations en novembre 1991. Son mandat a par la suite été élargi pour lui permettre d'entreprendre d'importantes activités de déminage afin que les réfugiés cambodgiens puissent être rapatriés sans danger.

This disposition class identifies that, although the computer-based system has Y2000 date handling problems, it has already been targeted for a re-write for mission/business reasons(e. g., changes in operational methods and/or functions). This eliminates the need for the original system, or the cause of the Y2000 date problem.

  • Informatique
OBS

En vertu de cette mesure, il est établi que, même si un système informatique a des problèmes de traitement de dates, il est déjà entendu qu'il doit être réécrit pour des raisons opérationnelles (en raison d'un changement de méthodes ou de fonctions opérationnelles, par exemple), ce qui rend le système original inutile ou fait disparaître la cause du problème.
