The DoD Law of War Manual and its Critics: Some Observations
Abstract
The U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) new Law of War Manual has generated serious debate about its treatment of a variety of issues including human shields, the status of journalists, cyber operations, the precautions to be taken prior to attacks and even the role of honor in war. Although this article does not purport to be a comprehensive response to every critique of the Manual and, indeed, cites opportunities for its improvement, it nevertheless concludes that on balance the Manual provides an excellent, comprehensive and much-needed statement of DoD’s view of the lex lata of the law of war.
... SÇH aynı zamanda çatışma sırasında uygulanacak prensipleri de belirtmiştir. SÇH'nin Askeri Gereklilik (Military Necessity), Gereksiz Acı ve Izdırabın Önlenmesi (Humanity/Unnecessary Suffering), Orantılılık (Proportionality) ve Ayırt Etme İlkesi (Distinction/Discrimination) olmak üzere 4 farklı prensibi bulunmasına rağmen bazı kaynaklar Onur (Chivalry/Honor) ilkesini de (Corn vd., 2012: 288;Vadnais, 1997: 7-9;Matthee, Toebes ve Brus, 2013: 49;Dunlap, 2016: 105) SÇH'nin prensiplerinden birisi olarak kabul etmektedirler.

Uluslararası toplum tarih boyunca birçok savaş ve çatışma yaşamış ve Birleşmiş Milletler’in (BM) kuruluşuna kadar uluslararası arenada güç kullanımını yasaklanmamıştır. Her ne kadar BM tarafından uluslararası ilişkilerde güç kullanımı yasaklanmış olsa da uluslararası toplum hala dünyanın bazı bölgelerinde birçok çatışma ve savaş yaşamaktadır. Her ne kadar uluslararası ilişkilerde güç kullanımı yasaklansa da ortaya çıkacak savaş/ların ve çatışma/ların sınırlarını belirlemek de önemli bir konu olmaktadır. Bu çerçevede oluşturulan Silahlı Çatışma Hukuku, bu çizgileri gereklilik, insaniyet ve onur ilkeleri altında belirlemiştir. Bu makalede, bu ilkeler analiz edilerek, aralarındaki ilişki detaylandırılacak ve bu üç ilkenin neden Silahlı Çatışma Hukukunun temel prensipleri arasında yer aldığı analiz edilecektir.

interesting call to correct what he terms as a "major flaw" in the Uniform
Code of Military Justice as he believes it has "no provision for command
