    INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW (TRIAL TECHNIQUE)

    Atty. Carlo Edison Alba

    PAO – Trece Martires Cavite (Trese, Gen. Triaz, Tanza)

     International Law on War (All forms of armed conflict)


     To minimize human suffering brought about by armed conflict
     Part of PIL
     Elective – asked in political law in bar
     IHL – allows certain discrimination
     Part of the law of the land because of the doctrine of incorporation – no need for municipal law
    to enable it, but congress deemed to enact it.
     Assignment:
    o Basic principles of IHL
    o History

    Book: Jovito Salonga, Isagani Cruz

    LESSON 1

     Objective of IHL – to mitigate human suffering


     Red cross/Red crescent
     War – two states engaging in an effort to overpower another in order to enforce its term to
    another - hostility (traditional). Without hostility – without armed conflict (ex. North and South
    Korea)
     Justification of war – self-preservation, enforcement of action by the UN security council
     War is not eliminated but it is resorted as the last result – states should renounce war as its
    national policy (treaty on Paris)
     Principles:
    o humanity (prohibition on attacking hospital or hospital personnel, or a person who
    raises a white flag),
    o proportionality (means employed should be proportional to its military necessity),
    o discrimination/distinction (belligerent should discriminate combatant from non-
    combatants, avoid military actions against non-combatants, xpn: military necessity to
    achieve military objective),
    o military necessity (states are allowed all means necessary in order to achieve a military
    objective)
     Commencement of war
    o Traditional
     Declaration of war
     Imposing an ultimatum
    o Modern
     Civil war
     Participants – state, non-state
     Enforcement action by the security council – embargo, economic sanctions, war, Rome statute
    which establishes the ICC
     R.A. 9815 - An act
