The Regime Of Innocent Passage In Disputed Waters, Hitoshi Nasu Nov 2018

The Regime Of Innocent Passage In Disputed Waters, Hitoshi Nasu

International Law Studies

The regime of innocent passage is a well-established body of customary international law. However, when there is a dispute over sovereign entitlement to a territorial sea or its outer limit, the applicability and legal effect of the regime are brought into question. This article considers the applicability of the regime of innocent passage and its legal effect in disputed waters by critically examining the relevant jurisprudence of international courts and tribunals that have dealt with territorial and maritime disputes. The efficacy of the findings from this analysis will then be evaluated from a legal policy perspective in the interest of …


International Humanitarian Law And The Targeting Of Data, Tim Mccormack Nov 2018

International Humanitarian Law And The Targeting Of Data, Tim Mccormack

International Law Studies

The 2013 publication of the Tallinn Manual on the International Law Applicable to Cyber Warfare confirmed the view of the majority of the international group of experts that data was not an object and therefore not subject to the rules of targeting during an armed conflict. Intuitively, a number of scholars reacted negatively to this view, and instead were drawn to the Tallinn Manual minority position that data did constitute an object. The significance of data, particularly personal data, is only increasing, and the purpose of the law of armed conflict is to reduce the deleterious impact of armed conflict …

Ethics And The Twenty-First-Century Military Professional, Timothy J. Demy Nov 2018

Ethics And The Twenty-First-Century Military Professional, Timothy J. Demy

The van Beuren Leadership and Ethics Series

We enter into military service with the belief that joining the profession of arms means being part of something greater than ourselves. Being part of something greater requires each member of the profession to grow individually, improving every day to be better. This pattern of seeking growth is at the very core of the most successful professionals, including their contributions to the profession of arms.


China Maritime Report No. 3: China’S Distant-Ocean Survey Activities: Implications For U.S. National Security, Ryan D. Martinson, Peter A. Dutton Nov 2018

China Maritime Report No. 3: China’S Distant-Ocean Survey Activities: Implications For U.S. National Security, Ryan D. Martinson, Peter A. Dutton

CMSI China Maritime Reports

Today, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) is investing in marine scientific research on a massive scale. This investment supports an oceanographic research agenda that is increasingly global in scope. One key indicator of this trend is the expanding operations of China’s oceanographic research fleet. On any given day, 5-10 Chinese “scientific research vessels” (科学考查船) may be found operating beyond Chinese jurisdictional waters, in strategically-important areas of the Indo-Pacific. Overshadowed by the dramatic growth in China’s naval footprint, their presence largely goes unnoticed. Yet the activities of these ships and the scientists and engineers they embark have major implications for …


Weapons Review Obligation Under Customary International Law, Natalia Jevglevskaja Sep 2018

Weapons Review Obligation Under Customary International Law, Natalia Jevglevskaja

International Law Studies

Under Article 36 of the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, States are required to review new weapons for their compliance with international law. While recent discussions on the regulation of lethal autonomous weapons systems under the auspices of the UN Certain Conventional Weapons Convention increasingly emphasize the importance of national weapons review mechanisms, Article 36 is known to be implemented only by a handful of States. Some legal scholars have nonetheless argued that the Article 36 obligation has attained customary international law status. Remarkably, substantive analysis of State practice and opinio juris required to evidence that certain …

Economic Potential Of Western Europe For War, Max F. Millikan Sep 2018

Economic Potential Of Western Europe For War, Max F. Millikan

Naval War College Review

Whereas I certainly would not want to contradict the Captain who introduced me and contend that economic potential is not an important piece of war potential, I think that economists generally—and, perhaps even more, non-economists—may have a tendency to exaggerate how much you can learn about military strength from a look at strictly economic factors.


Astigmatism And Geopolitics, Edward L. Katzenbach Jr. Sep 2018

Astigmatism And Geopolitics, Edward L. Katzenbach Jr.

Naval War College Review

Aside from measurements in knots and miles and cubic footage, or quantities of this or that, there is a serious question whether there is much else on the face of the globe about which we today agree unreservedly among ourselves.


The Role Of Labor In War, Victor G. Reuther Sep 2018

The Role Of Labor In War, Victor G. Reuther

Naval War College Review

I have a very strong and a very deep conviction that in the final analysis the victory of the free world will depend in far greater measure on what is done at the social, the economic and the political level - at the level where we seek to win the hearts, the minds and the souls of men and where we can mobilize our resources to do justice to the democratic cause in that area - than in the area of traditional warfare alone.

Historical Development Of U.S. Foreign Policy, William T. R. Fox Sep 2018

Historical Development Of U.S. Foreign Policy, William T. R. Fox

Naval War College Review

If there is any one continuing theme which will run through my remarks, it is that the basic attitudes which Americans bring to perplexing problems of foreign policy has changed remarkably little since the early days of the Republic. The world, however, and especially the United States itself, has changed a good deal, and it is therefore hardly surprising to find that American foreign policy has changed along with it, for if one applies old ideas to new situations, one is likely to get new policies.

The Challenge Facing The United States, W. W. Rostow Sep 2018

The Challenge Facing The United States, W. W. Rostow

Naval War College Review

The challenge facing the United States is, in its essence, simple: can we prevent the enemy from fulfilling his intention? His intention is to drive the United States from power and in­fluence in Eurasia; to isolate the United States on this Continent; and to deal with us in his own good time from the preponderant base he would then control.

U.S. Economic Foreign Policy, Sumner H. Slichter

Naval War College Review

I am glad to be here to discuss, with the emphasis rather strongly on the word "Economic," the Economic Aspects of For­eign Policy. My remarks will fall under the four principal head­ings: (l) The Principal Conditions That Mold American Foreign Economic Policy; (II) The Objectives of American Foreign Eco­nomic Policy; (III) The Accomplishments of American Foreign Economic Policy, and (IV) Where Do We Stand and What Should we do?

The Measurement Of War Potential, Bruce D. Rindlaub Sep 2018

The Measurement Of War Potential, Bruce D. Rindlaub

Naval War College Review

I have been asked to talk this morning about "The Measure­ment of War Potential." Back in Washington when we ask people to talk about this subject we give them about the same title and scope I have been given - but when they talk about it, most cover only a small, restricted area of the subject as a whole.


The Nature Of War, George A. Lincoln Sep 2018

The Nature Of War, George A. Lincoln

Naval War College Review

A discussion of the nature of war before an audience of experienced professionals dedicated to the mission of national security is cer­tainly a safer mission for a senior flag officer or a civilian than for a contemporary.
