商品描述
This book helps to conceptualize the doctrine of forcible protection of nationals abroad and illustrates the key elements of state practice. States' interest in protecting their nationals abroad is timeless; nationality and allegiance are constitutive elements of sovereignty and in some cases, take precedence over territoriality. Yet the forcible protection of nationals abroad has long been debated and attracted the attention of international legal theory. Currently, it is particularly in the spotlight due to Russia's invocation of the doctrine in the armed conflict against Ukraine. However, protection of nationals abroad is a concept which is expected to fuel international debate in the years to come, primarily because of globalization and the growing trend of more and more people living outside their country of birth.
Chapters 1 and 2 delve into the doctrine of protecting nationals abroad. More specifically, Chapter 1 examines how the doctrine was formulated and applied in the pre-Charter era and explores whether there was a customary rule permitting the use of force to protect a state's nationals abroad, while Chapter 2 offers an overview of the doctrinal debate which followed the United Nations Charter and the prohibition of the use of force. In turn, Chapters 3 and 4 take a closer look at state practice from 1945 onwards. Chapter 3 outlines the major features of states' practices and their justifications for using force for the sake of their nationals. Chapter 4 assesses the Russian discourse on the protection of nationals abroad, specifically with regard to the armed conflict with Georgia, the rhetoric preceding the annexation of Crimea, and the military invasion of Ukraine. Lastly, Chapter 5 explains how the protection of nationals abroad could be made more human-centric and go beyond jus ad bellum. This chapter re-interprets the concept of "nationals" and sheds light on the terms "expatriates," "naturalized foreigners" and "diaspora," suggesting that there is a gap between diplomatic and forcible protection, one not reflected in international law regulation and which needs to be addressed.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書幫助概念化在海外強制保護國民的原則，並闡述國家實踐的關鍵要素。國家對於保護其國民的興趣是永恆的；國籍和效忠是主權的構成要素，在某些情況下，甚至優先於領土性。然而，海外強制保護國民的問題長期以來一直受到爭論，並引起國際法律理論的關注。目前，由於俄羅斯在與烏克蘭的武裝衝突中引用該原則，這一問題特別受到關注。然而，海外保護國民的概念預計將在未來幾年引發國際辯論，主要是因為全球化以及越來越多的人生活在出生國以外的趨勢。
第一章和第二章深入探討保護國民的原則。更具體地說，第一章檢視該原則在《聯合國憲章》之前的形成和應用，並探討是否存在一項習慣法允許使用武力保護國家國民，而第二章則概述了隨著《聯合國憲章》及禁止使用武力而隨之而來的學說辯論。接著，第三章和第四章更詳細地考察1945年以來的國家實踐。第三章概述了國家實踐的主要特徵及其為國民使用武力的理由。第四章評估了俄羅斯在保護國民方面的論述，特別是與喬治亞的武裝衝突、克里米亞併吞前的言辭，以及對烏克蘭的軍事入侵。最後，第五章解釋了如何使海外保護國民的概念更具人性化，並超越正當理由（jus ad bellum）。本章重新詮釋了「國民」的概念，並闡明了「外籍人士」、「歸化外國人」和「僑民」的術語，指出在外交保護和強制保護之間存在一個缺口，這一缺口在國際法規範中未得到反映，並需要加以解決。
