Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Unlawful Combatant A person who directly engages in armed conflict in contravention of the rules of war and is therefore alleged to not be protected by the Geneva Conventions is referred to as an unlawful combatant, an illegal combatant, or an unprivileged combatant/belligerent. Any of these terms refer to the same individual.It has been brought to the attention of the International Committee of the Red Cross that the terms "unlawful combatant," "illegal combatant," and "unprivileged combatant/belligerent" are not articulated in any of the international accords that have been established. Additionally, the phrase "illegal combatant" does not occur in the Third Geneva Convention, despite the fact that the notion of an unlawful combatant is covered in the agreement. There are certain circumstances that can qualify a person for the status of prisoner of war, and Article 4 of the Third Geneva Convention does identify those circumstances. Other international treaties prohibit mercenaries and youngsters from being considered lawful combatants. These accords make this distinction.

Book Synopsis New Kind of War - New Kind of Detention? by : Dorte Hühnert
Download or read book New Kind of War - New Kind of Detention? written by Dorte Hühnert and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2016 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Bush administration 9/11 started a new kind of war. In reaction to the attacks the president and his legal advisors created the term unlawful enemy combatant in addition to the Geneva Conventions' distinction of combatants and civilians. Alluding to international law, the term suggests legality and seeks to legitimize a new kind of detention, yet leading to the torture scandal and Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp. This empirical study traces the term's development throughout the first year after 9/11 and reveals the legitimation strategies for detainee treatment of the Bush administration.

Book Synopsis Unlawful Enemy Combatant by : Mark David Max Maxwell
Download or read book Unlawful Enemy Combatant written by Mark David Max Maxwell and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Military Commissions Act of 2006 represents the United States most recent effort to establish a forum to try detainees captured in its Global War on Terrorism . This article briefly explores the Act's use of the term unlawful enemy combatant to define both subject matter jurisdiction as well as the potential source of criminal liability. The article highlights the term's absence from the positive law of war as well as confusion over its legal significance in United States domestic law. Examining the relationship between status and protections under the law of war, the authors conclude the Act's use of the term unlawful enemy combatant reflects legal convenience more than an objective assessment of the existing laws and customs of war.

Download or read book Guantánamo Bay written by Terry D. Gill and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States administration's policy of detaining 'unlawful enemy combatants' at the United States military base in Guantánamo Bay falls short of international and domestic law standards. The problem in the authors' view is not that the United States has decided to designate those captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan as 'unlawful combatants' who (allegedly) fall outside the scope of international humanitarian law. International humanitarian law has long recognized the existence of such a category. The problem is rather that international humanitarian law has been sporadically and selectively applied and in many respects has been ignored or violated with respect to the detainees held in Guantánamo and elsewhere within the context of the 'war on terror'. In its recent judgments in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, Rumsfeld v. Bush and Rasul v. Bush the United States Supreme Court has not passed an unambiguous and clear judgment on the United States policy towards unlawful enemy combatants. The Court may have rejected the executive's claim that it has the authority to incarcerate people suspected of terrorist connections without any judicial review, the three decisions have not imposed on the executive a clear framework governing the detention of alleged terrorists. The Court has upheld the government's power to hold 'enemy combatants' according to standards that fall short of the requirements of the Geneva Conventions. Moreover, the due process protection granted to those challenging their status as 'enemy combatant' is so deferential to the executive that it could render review virtually insignificant.

Download or read book Enemy Combatant written by Moazzam Begg and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Enemy Combatant was first published in the United States in hardcover in 2006 it garnered sensational reviews, and its author was featured in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, on National Public Radio, and on ABC News. A second generation British Muslim, Begg had been held by the U.S. military for more than three years before being released without charge in January of 2005. His memoir is the first published account by a Guantánamo detainee of life inside the infamous prison. Writing in the Washington Post Book World, Jane Mayer described Enemy Combatant as “fascinating . . . Begg provides some ideological counterweight to the one-sided spin coming from the U.S. government. He writes passionately and personally, stripping readers of the comforting lie that somehow the detainees aren't really like us, with emotional attachments, intellectual interests and fully developed humanity.” Recommended by the Financial Times and Tikkun magazine and a ColorLines Editors' Pick of Post-9/11 Books, Enemy Combatant is “a forcefully told, up-to-the-minute political story . . . necessary reading for people on all sides of the issue” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Book Synopsis An Appraisal of US Practice Relating to 'Enemy Combatants' by : Gabor Rona
Download or read book An Appraisal of US Practice Relating to 'Enemy Combatants' written by Gabor Rona and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 19 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This note explores the use and abuse by the U.S. of the law of armed conflict, and related consequences in the realm of international human rights obligations, that result from designation of persons as 'enemy combatants' or 'unlawful enemy combatants' in the fight against terrorism. Section II briefly describes factors that do and do not trigger application of the law of armed conflict and the consequences of whether or not it applies. Section III describes the two subcategories of armed conflict - international and non-international - and how IHL does and does not apply to various aspects of the so-called 'war against terror', as they fall within the scope of international armed conflict, non-international armed conflict and non-armed conflict. It then describes the IHL concept of 'combatant' (privileged belligerent) and its alternative, 'civilian', the appropriate designation for persons who do not qualify for combatant status even though they may participate in hostilities. Having distinguished between the two categories of armed conflict and of individuals who fall there under, Section III then discusses the scope of application of human rights law to such individuals, even where IHL is the primary source of applicable law. With the scope of application of legal frameworks to distinct categories of individuals having been established in Sections II and III, Section IV then describes the non-conforming concept and consequences of being designated an 'enemy combatant' by the US administration, and how that concept and those consequences have been debated and affected by domestic legislation and litigation. Finally, Section V concludes with recommendations to bring US practice back in to line with US international legal obligations.
Book Synopsis The War on Terror and the Laws of War by : Michael Lewis
Download or read book The War on Terror and the Laws of War written by Michael Lewis and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a soldier in the field of battle is under attack in a small village and comes upon a villager who could be a combatant or a civilian, what rules govern how that soldier should act? If the soldier detains the villager and determines that the villager is an unaffiliated combatant, what do the rules of detention require? In The War on Terror and the Laws of War, six legal scholars with experience as military officers bring practical wisdom to the contentious topic of applying international law to the battlefield. The authors apply their unique expertise to issues that have gained greater urgency during the United States' wars in Iraq and Afghanistan: including categorizing targets and properly detaining combatants. The modern battlefield has proven to be a difficult arena in which to apply traditional legal rules. The War on Terror and the Laws of War brings clarity to the subject with an insider's perspective.
