Among many laws in military law is the SROE which outlines the principle that military self defense can be extended to unit self defense. Self defense is also mentioned in the ICRC Commentary on Additional Protocols. We have articles that answer questions regarding the legality, lawfulness and legality military self defense. We'll cover the basics and answer many common questions. You will also learn about the limitations of military defense. You will then be well-prepared for self defense.
SROE defines Self-Defense as an extension and application of unit self Defense
The SROE, or standard regulations of engagement, describes military or national defense as an extension and protection of unit-based selfdefense. The SROE was intended to give guidance to commanders on the exercise of national defense in non-armed conflict. However the concept national self defence has been confused by the notion of individual self-defense as defined under criminal law. This change came as the US entered non-international conflicts. It left the US military without clear and often conflicting self defense options.
A person displaying hostile intent is considered a threat under the SROE. A threat need not be immediate or imminent to trigger self defense. Unlike criminal law and other legal systems, the SROE uses similar definitions for national, unit and individual self defense. The SROE also identifies a triggering risk as a hostile attack or demonstration hostile intent.
ICRC Commentary to the Additional Protocols mentions self-defense
The ICRC Commentary for the Additional Protocol says that anyone engaged in hostilities must treat all civilians within its custody with humane care, including those who are wounded. The article forbids the use or threat of force against civilians. Hostages and prisoners of war must be treated according to the same standards. Additionally, it stipulates that civilian attacks must be proportionate. This means that collateral damage or incidental injuries must not exceed any expected concrete and direct military benefit. Additionally, all targeting must be justified by reasonable expectations of civilian safety.
Articles of Additional Protocols describe civilian-protection provisions in a broad sense. These provisions are applicable to structures like bridges, power plants and chemical factories. Some structures may be civilian-protected. Although the ICRC Commentary to Additional Protocols doesn't mention it in this context, a civilian-protected building could be an example civilian-defense measure.
ICRC Commentary
The ICRC just released an Interpretive Guidance regarding military self defense. This will change the nature a cross-border war to how the territorial state consents to force. This Commentary however, also exposes a flaw. In the first place, it is not legally binding. A binding law is only produced by state practices and agreements. The ICRC and its specialists have made Interpretive Guidance possible. It is a normative paradigm, which describes how to approach such situations.
Although the ICRC was initially of the opinion that an armed attack on civilians on the territory of a state does not necessarily constitute an act of war, the new Commentary concludes that the 1958 interpretation was too restrictive. Although the IAC doesn't stipulate that a state has to intervene in a war, it does not prohibit it from taking military action against civilians. But the ICRC believes that an armed conflict exists when one state uses force against another, and that armed force is necessary to protect civilians.
