42, Nowadays, the customary international law status of the rule of surrender is confirmed by the fact that a significant number of military manuals adopted by states which represent important sources of state practice when identifying obligations under customary international humanitarian lawFootnote All persons protected under these conventions must be given shelter and cared for by the party to the conflict that holds power over them. This article has explored state practice with the aim of clarifying the criteria that give rise to an effective act of surrender under conventional and customary international humanitarian law in times of international and non-international armed conflict.

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: 118 11 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.

As the law of non-international armed conflict in the context of targeting is currently unclear,Footnote According to the Israeli Military Manual, it is absolutely forbidden in the strongest terms to attack such a combatant [one who has surrendered]. 23 13, The regulation of armed conflict during ancient Rome is captured by Cicero's well-known proverb from 50 BC: silent enim leges inter arma (the law stands silent in times of war).Footnote This approach is consistent with the obligation arising under the law of internationalFootnote In fact, a number of states expressly reject the contention that the waving of a white flag is constitutive of surrender. False surrender is a type of perfidy in the context of war. 89 As a result, they re-emerge as a threat to military security and the opposing force is justified in making them the object of attack.

The ICRC insists that customary international law also imposes an obligation to refrain from targeting those who have surrendered, yet Rule 47 of the ICRC Study provides no further guidance on what conduct constitutes a legally effective surrender, stating merely that a person is immune from attack where he or she expresses an intention to surrender. The first Convention was initiated by what is now the International Committee for the Red Cross and Red Crescent (ICRC). Cte d'Ivoire, Droit de la guerre, Manuel d'instruction, Ministre de la Dfense, Forces Armes Nationales (2007) 4647. Additionally, the ICRC Study determined that the content of art 4 is contained (albeit implicitly) in Common Article 3 to the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949, which can be regarded, therefore, as imposing a legal obligation upon state parties to refrain from making the object of attack persons who have surrendered during a non-international armed conflict: ICRC Study (n 6) 165, r 47 and accompanying commentary. and (3) Have surrendered persons unconditionally submitted to the authority of their captor? 110. Furthermore, the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC Statute) determines that in times of internationalFootnote 58 within the international society and coupled with opinio juris (the belief that the practice is required by international law), such customary practices give rise to international legal obligations.Footnote While other international humanitarian law treaties impose an obligation upon opposing forces to accept valid offers of surrender, they do not provide any guidance as to the type of conduct (verbal or otherwise) that signifies an intention to surrender. It specifically prohibits murder, mutilation. The Geneva Convention is a standard by which prisoners and civilians should be treated during a time of war. The law of international armed conflict defines civilians in negative terms as those persons who do not qualify as combatants.Footnote The High Contracting Parties undertake to respect 24 A number of academics also hold this view: eg, Sandesh Sivakumaran, The Law of Non-International Armed Conflict (Oxford University Press 2012) 413 (an intention to surrender is indicated in the form of waving a white flag or discarding weapons and placing hands on heads). 59 Sandoz, Swinarski and Zimmermann (n 1) 48687.

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. Have persons who are attempting to surrender engaged in a positive act which clearly indicates that they no longer intend to directly participate in hostilities? 110 99 The First Geneva Convention was presided over by Swiss general Guillaume Henri Dufour on August 22, 1864.

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. [11] 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. 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.

Where a valid offer of surrender is communicated to an opponent, there is a legal obligation upon the opponent to accept that offer and to refrain from making surrendered persons the object of attack. The other two are whether he is "in the power of an adverse Party," or . 81 In short, while international humanitarian law permits parties to an armed conflict to attack (and kill) enemies, even where they are not engaging in threatening behaviour (and assuming they are not hors de combat), international human rights law permits a state to use force only where it is necessary and proportionate in the circumstances prevailing at the time.Footnote In 1907, the international community convened the first of a series of diplomatic conferences that endeavored to codify the "laws and customs of war." The first of these conferences was the 1907. For example, Cameroon's Instructor's Manual explains that the white flag is the symbol of surrender of troops and engages the adversary to respect immediately the ceasefire rules.Footnote In its legal dimension, where a valid offer of surrender is communicated to and received by an opposing force, it is legally obligated to accept that offer and refrain from making surrendered persons the object of attack.Footnote 01 Jan 2023 20:41:32 19 Source. 3 127 72 Close this message to accept cookies or find out how to manage your cookie settings.

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 ICRC, for example, expressly considers and then rejects this contention: Melzer (n 57) 70. that is party to a non-international armed conflict, targeting decisions must be guided by the standards set by international human rights law, which means that states must make all reasonable efforts to communicate to their enemies the offer of surrender before they can be directly targeted.

The exception here is First, the article situates surrender within its broader historical and theoretical setting, tracing its legal development as a rule of conventional and customary international humanitarian law and arguing that its crystallisation as a law of war derives from the lack of military necessity to directly target persons who have placed themselves outside the theatre of armed conflict, and that such conduct is unacceptable from a humanitarian perspective. That the onus is upon those wishing to surrender to indicate unambiguously that they no longer intend to take a direct part in hostilities explains why international humanitarian law does not impose an obligation upon an opposing force to first offer its enemy the opportunity to surrender before making them the object of an attack,Footnote Art 32 of the Hague Regulations 1907 (n 48) provides that persons who cross the battlefield in order to conduct negotiations with the opposing force cannot be made the object of attack from the moment they assume this role until the moment it is concluded. Thus, persons who refuse to obey demands to kneel or to lie on the ground, place their hands behind their back, remain silent, stand still and so on, do not submit to the authority of their opponent and do not surrender for the purpose of international humanitarian law. 8 28 The Lieber Code is often regarded as providing the foundation for subsequent attempts to regulate warfare. 2009) 22Google Scholar. 51 (2) Is it reasonable in the circumstances for the opposing force to discern the offer of surrender? In other instances, however, international tribunals and human rights bodies have deviated from Nuclear Weapons and applied human rights law standards in determining the legality of the use of force by states.Footnote Another important question is whether combatants are required to offer vanquished forces the opportunity to surrender before direct targeting can commence? False surrender is a type of perfidy in the context of war. 10, A similar story can be told in relation to the regulation of armed conflict, and thus the regulation of surrender during ancient times. The moral argument for this is that as long as the soldier is participating in the military effort, he knowingly risks his life. According to this principle, combatants could engage only in those measures that were indispensable for securing the ends of the war.Footnote Accordingly, I propose a three-stage test for determining when an act of surrender is legally effective under international humanitarian law: 1. This is significant because where state practice is widespreadFootnote 119 International tribunals have determined that during times of international and non-international armed conflict international humanitarian law does not displace the obligations imposed upon states by international human rights law.Footnote 115, One final question remains.

The ICRC's Interpretive Guidance provides a fuller discussion of when a person can be regarded as directly participating in hostilities: Melzer (n 57) 4164. 123 Given that the relevant treaties are silent as to the conduct that constitutes an act of surrender, state practice becomes an important indicator of the ways in which ambiguous or unclear treaty provisions must be interpreted.Footnote 23 This is so because an individual soldier will always be adding to the military capacity of the enemy: Broadly speaking, the law of international armed conflict distinguishes between two categories of people: combatants and civilians. 1985) 6Google Scholar.
