90, In normative terms, commentators have increasingly argued that whenever a state has enough control over a particular situation to enable it to detain individuals, then such an attempt must be made before force can be used, and non-lethal force must be favoured if possible.Footnote The principle of military necessity therefore failed to provide an effective mechanism to quell the savagery and brutality associated with previous armed conflicts. However, the phraseology of these agreements means that civilians necessarily fall into a residual category of anyone who is not a fighter. 119 Similarly, the Dominican Republic's Military Manual accepts that once a white flag is waved this signals an intent to surrender and the opposing force must cease firing from that moment: The enemy soldier may reach a point where he would rather surrender than fight. Surrender, in military terms, is the relinquishment of control over territory, combatants, fortifications, ships or armament to another power. It also grantsthe right to proper medical treatment and care. Civilians are liable to direct targeting for such timeFootnote 95 At present, 168 States are party to Additional Protocol I and 164 States to Additional Protocol II,this still places the 1977 Additional Protocols among the most widely accepted legal instruments in the world. Carnahan, Burrus M, Lincoln, Lieber and the Laws of War (1998) 92 With civilians bearing the brunt of many protracted conflicts, scholars and aid agencies have raised questions about the continued relevance of IHL. On rare occasions the demands of military necessity converge with humanitarian considerations and prompt the law in the same direction.Footnote as they directly participate in hostilities, and this includes the period during which the civilian is preparing to engage in conduct amounting to direct participation, actually engages in hostilities, and in the immediate aftermath of the hostile act being perpetrated.Footnote [2], A white flag or handkerchief is often taken or intended as a signal of a desire to surrender, but in international law, it simply represents a desire for a parley that may or may not result in a formal surrender. Other commentators disagree with the ICRC's approach and argue that all members of the military component may be treated as members of an organized armed group for targeting purposes regardless of the function they perform: The Geneva Conventions and the Death of Osama Bin Laden. International humanitarian law (IHL) also protects other persons deprived of liberty as a result of armed conflict. 22 Specifically, it prohibits attacks on civilian hospitals, medical transports, etc. Other states similarly reject the contention that the white flag indicates an intention to surrender. However, rather than engaging in an intensive analysis of the rule of surrender during land warfare, Robertson's contribution is a case study that focuses upon whether Iraqi soldiers manning oil platforms during the First Gulf War had effectively expressed an intention to surrender under international humanitarian law before they were attacked by US helicopters. By and large, however, the treaties do not fully delineate the meaning of the rule of surrender and, while military manuals overwhelmingly require that armed forces do not make surrendered persons the object of attack, they generally fail to specify the conditions that constitute a legally effective surrender. The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols are international treaties that contain the most important rules limiting the barbarity of war. Importantly, a significant number of military manuals produced by states identify the laying down of weapons and the raising of hands as an acceptable means through which to manifest an intention to surrender,Footnote 19 Sandoz, Swinarski and Zimmermann (n 1) 48687. Its official name is the Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, Geneva July 27, 1929. Failure to adhere to such demands provided they were reasonable in the sense that they did not place the surrendering forces in danger of being caught in crossfire would constitute unwillingness to submit themselves to the authority of their captor and would therefore vitiate their surrender, which means that they would remain permissible objects of attack under international humanitarian law.Footnote The original Geneva Convention was adopted in 1864 to establish the red cross emblem signifying neutral status and protection of medical services and volunteers. Second, this code of conduct (and so the legal obligation to accept surrender) applied only between knights who were within Christendom: the code [of chivalry] was intended to apply only to hostilities between Christian princes and was seldom applied outside that context, for example, in the Crusades.Footnote 128. What is perhaps most surprising is that there has been relatively little consideration of the rule of surrender within international humanitarian law literature. According to the Israeli Military Manual, it is absolutely forbidden in the strongest terms to attack such a combatant [one who has surrendered].

Given the centrality of the rule of surrender to realising the humanitarian objectives of international humanitarian law, it is paramount that those involved in armed conflict are aware of what conduct constitutes an act of surrender under international humanitarian law and thus when its attendant legal obligation to cease fire is triggered. Heavily influenced by the dictates of Christianity and especially the writings of the leading teachers in the Catholic Church, it was during the Medieval Ages that concerted attempts were made to construct a detailed regulatory framework to govern armed conflict and mitigate the horrors of war. When a soldier surrenders, the army that takes. 1 3 Section 3 explores state practice with a view to identifying when an offer of surrender is effective under international humanitarian law, and proposes a three-stage test that can be used to determine whether an enemy has extended a valid offer of surrender. 72 The Geneva League of Nations is a start, I admit, but it is a start in the . 73 If Lewis's claim is false, however, the claim itself is dangerous. Before we examine what type of conduct constitutes a positive act indicating an intention to no longer directly participate in hostilities, it is first necessary to identify those persons whom international humanitarian law regards as directly participating in hostilities during armed conflict, because it is within this context that the rule of surrender operates. 82, In the Nuclear Weapons advisory opinion the ICJ opined that during times of armed conflict (presumably encompassing both international and non-international armed conflict) the legality of the use of lethal force must be determined according to the applicable lex specialis meaning that the law governing a specific subject matter takes precedence over law that regulates general matters where there is inconsistency between themFootnote 21 As the ICTY explained in the Tadi judgment, when identifying state practice in the context of customary international humanitarian law reliance must primarily be placed on such elements as official pronouncements of States, military manuals and judicial decisions: ICTY, Prosecutor v Tadi, Decision on the Defence Motion for Interlocutory Appeal on Jurisdiction, IT-94-AR72, Appeals Chamber, 2 October 1995, [99]. Although not a source of law, since its publication the Interpretive Guidance has gained traction among states and is thus becoming the authoritative guidance on the law of targeting: Seven new ratifications since 2000 have brought the total number of States Party to 194, making the Geneva Conventions universally applicable. Hans-Henning Kortm, Surrender in Medieval Times in Afflerbach and Strachan (n 2) 41, 47. 31 26 9 As Pictet explains, [i]n the earliest human societies, what we call the law of the jungle generally prevailed; the triumph of the strongest or most treacherous was followed by monstrous massacres and unspeakable atrocities. From a survey of military manuals I have revealed that the laying down of weapons and the raising of hands is a widely accepted method of indicating such an intention under both conventional and customary international humanitarian law. 2013) 11316Google Scholar. They got hit by a concussion from a grenade and the Russian were in Ukrainian uniforms which is a war crime the Ukrainians say friendly for a reason. The Geneva Convention of 1949 requires signatory nations to pass the necessary laws and "provide effective penal sanctions" for persons "committing, or ordering to be committed" any "grave. Although formally the purpose of art 4A is to delineate the criteria for determining who can be regarded as prisoners of war under the law of international armed conflict, it has become well accepted that this provision also provides the criteria for determining lawful combatancy during international armed conflict: As Sassli and Olson explain, case law in this area is clearly contradictoryFootnote Prisoners of War are supposed to be protected and provisioned for. Article 23(c) of Hague Convention IVFootnote For example, is the waving of a white flag indicative of surrender? Project of an International Declaration concerning the Laws and Customs of War 1874, adopted by the Conference of Brussels, 27 August 1874 (the Brussels Manual), art 13(d). For a more detailed discussion of decisions of UN human rights bodies that have applied international human rights law in determining the legality of the use of force by states during non-international armed conflicts see Sassli and Olson (n 71) 61112. 4. 55 Thus, by about 1900, most publicists recognised a customary rule which made it unlawful to refuse quarter or to wound or kill those who unconditionally offered to surrender.Footnote The Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 extends the protection of civilians and prisoners of war during military occupation, even in the case . False surrenders are usually used to draw the enemy out of cover to attack them off guard, but they may be used in larger operations such as during a siege. All in all, the point is that even if an offer of surrender is validly extended under international humanitarian law, if that offer cannot reasonably be discerned in the circumstances then, from the perspective of the opposing force, the threat represented by the enemy remains and the principle of military necessity continues to justify their direct targeting. Scheffer, "Towards a Modern Doctrine," p. 289; United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948), Article I. Julie Mertus goes further: "If the target state is party to any of the relevant human rights conventions, or if the human right can be said to be customary international law applicable to . Or they can keep on winning battle after battle using more hi tech weapons destroying the majority of the Russian land forces not forgetting a couple of ships a fair few fighter jets and a shit load of tanks ,howitzers , munition st. This incident emphasizes the rule that the white flag indicates merely a desire to negotiate, and its hoister has the burden to come forward. See, eg, ECtHR, McCann v United Kingdom, App no 18984/91, Judgment, 5 September 1995, paras 200205. [7], The Third Geneva Convention states that prisoners of war should not be mistreated or abused. Has data issue: true The obligation to accept offers of surrender and to refrain from directly targeting persons who have surrendered is justified on the basis that there is no military necessity to target those who no longer intend to participate in hostilities, and that such conduct represents an unacceptable affront to human dignity. The Geneva Conventions providefor universal jurisdiction, as opposed to a more traditional (and limited) territorial jurisdictionthat was designed torespect thesovereignty of States over their citizens. The US military was criticised for this conduct.Footnote For example, the Human Rights Committee determined that Colombia had failed to comply with its international human rights law obligations when using force against members of an organised armed group because Colombian forces did not offer their opponents the opportunity to surrender before targeting (and killing) them. 113 5 It allows for the prosecution of the intentional starvation of civilians as a method of warfare as such, but also for "depriving them of objects indispensable to their survival, including wilfully impeding relief supplies as provided for under the Geneva Conventions." 20 Specifically, it required POWs to give only their names, ranks,and serial numbers to their captors. Where a person engages in a positive act that reveals to the opponent that he or she no longer intends to directly participate in hostilities, the opposing force is legally obligated to accept that offer of surrender and refrain from making such a person the object of attack.Footnote 119 The Conventions apply to all cases of armed conflict between two or more signatory nations, even in the absence of a declaration of war. While the notion of attempting to escape is relatively self-explanatory, what constitutes a hostile act is far from clear.

During the Battle for Goose Green, some Argentinean soldiers raised a white flag. 43 If this is the case, it becomes clear that in order to surrender it is incumbent upon such persons to perform a positive act,Footnote indicating that such conduct achieves sufficient support among states to amount to a legally recognisable act of surrender under relevant treaty and customary international humanitarian law. It was certified on March 25, 1935 and it was subsequently ratified by the Filipino people in a plebiscite on May 14, 1935. In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deception in which one side promises to act in good faith (such as by raising a flag of truce) with the intention of breaking that promise once the unsuspecting enemy is exposed (such as by coming out of cover to take the "surrendering" prisoners into custody).. Perfidy constitutes a breach of the laws of war and so is a war crime, as it degrades the . Christian knights were therefore relieved of any obligation to accept offers of surrender by non-Christian combatants.Footnote O'Connell (n 19) para 109. Thus, the test imposed by international humanitarian law is whether a reasonable combatant operating in those circumstances would have been expected to discern the offer of surrender. This was known as the doctrine of dedito: as soon as opposing forces fell into the hands of the Romans they no longer technically existed and their Roman captors could do with their captives as they pleased. ICRC Study (n 6) r 47. 94 The US Law of Armed Conflict Deskbook also rejects the use of the white flag as being declarative of surrender, and discusses the use of the white flag in the context of the 1982 Falklands Conflict:Footnote UN General Assembly, Report of the Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms while Countering Terrorism (18 September 2013), UN Doc A/68/389, para 69. Nevertheless, available state practice, in conjunction with the wider theoretical context within which the rule of surrender operates, can be used to make general inferences and to draw tentative conclusions as to the meaning of this rule under international humanitarian law. [T]here is little evidence that the archaic and classical Greeks enacted internationally recognised laws governing the practice of warfare: 12 24 Sandoz, Swinarski and Zimmermann (n 1) paras 162122. 2 without a legal guarantee that they will not be made the object of attack once they have laid down their weapons and submitted themselves to the authority Lanni, Adriaan, The Laws of War in Ancient Greece (2008) 26 Note: This article addresses the international humanitarian law, or law of war.

As Oeter explains, the obligation to accept valid offers of surrender constitutes in essence a logical expression of the principle that the legal use of military violence is strictly limited to what is required by military necessity; clearly there is no necessity to kill persons hors de combat: Stefan Oeter, Methods and Means of Combat in Fleck (n 19) 115, 18687. 134 . 101 78, International human rights law may muddy the waters here. Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov declined Sunday to give numbers on how many Russian troops had been killed or captured but said more Ukrainians than Russians had been. The United States, for example, claims that [w]aving a white flag technically is not a sign of surrender, but signals a desire to negotiateFootnote The development of the Geneva Conventions was closely associated with the Red Cross, whose founder, Henri Dunant, initiated international negotiations . They organized a provisional govern- ment for service until a permanent one might be established by the people. Yet, the circumstances in which international human rights law is operative during international and non-international armed conflict is far from clear and this is particularly so in relation to the law of targeting.Footnote US Law of War Manual (n 68) para 5.9.3.2.; France, Manuel de Droit des Conflits Arms, Ministre de la Dfense, Direction des Affaires Juridiques, Sous-Direction du droit international humanitaire et du droit europen, Bureau du droit des conflits arms (2001) 105; Belgium, Droit de la Guerre, Dossier d'Instruction pour Soldat, l'attention des officiers instructeurs, JS3, Etat-Major Gnral, Forces Armes belges, undated, 15; Cameroon, Droit des conflits arms et droit international humanitaire, Manuel de l'instructeur en vigueur dans les forces de dfense, Prsidence de la Rpublique, Ministre de la Dfense, Etat-major des Armes (2006) 256; Benin, Le Droit de la Guerre, III fascicules, Forces Armes du Bnin, Ministre de la Dfense nationale (1995); Chad, Droit international humanitaire, Manuel de l'instructeur en vigueur dans les forces armes et de scurit, Ministre de la Dfense, Prsidence de la Rpublique, Etat-major des Armes (2006). 128 The Rule of Surrender in International Humanitarian Senior Lecturer in International Law, University of Sheffield, United Kingdom. Ms Evans is wrong to claim that, under the Geneva Convention, refugees should seek refuge in the first safe country they come to. The picture is more complex in relation to the white flag. It contains no obligation "either explicit or implicit" for refugees to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach . International humanitarian law nevertheless requires the commander to take all reasonable and feasible measures to ensure that the targets remain permissible objects of attack before launching an offensive.

This rather simplifies the picture because there is evidence that the Romans formulated rudimentary laws of war, such as the prohibition against the use of concealed, barbed and poisoned weapons and the prohibition against attacking religious figures.Footnote More recent times brought about an increased tendency to regulate warfare and thus the tendency towards regulating surrender continued and improved.Footnote Adopted in 2005 to add another emblem, the "red crystal," to the list of emblems used to identify neutral humanitarian aide workers.
