WHAT'S NEW

Israel's Rewriting of the Law of War
12/22/2023
News
Leonard Rubenstein
Just Security

With the Israeli government recently stating that, according to its own
calculations, over 65% of deaths from Israeli military operations in Gaza were
civilians, time and investigations will tell whether any of that military
conduct violated the Geneva Conventions. Another question, however, demands
critical attention as well: Whether Israel is promoting an interpretation of
international humanitarian law that undermines the Conventions’ values and
subverts their rules. That might explain some of the outcomes we are seeing on
the ground. Despite couching its explanations in humanitarian law’s language of
proportionality and minimization of harm, Israel has asserted a theory of
justifiable conduct in war that, contrary to this body of law, elevates claims
of military necessity in achieving the war’s aims over protection of civilians,
particularly in a just war. The theory harks back to the influential
nineteenth-century intellectual and military theorist Francis Lieber, who
advanced it around the very time the first Geneva Convention was being
developed. It is important to look back at that long-rejected concept of
legitimate warfare and to closely trace what Israeli officials have propounded
in the current conflict.
Coercion and Control: Ukraine’s Health Care System under Russian Occupation
12/15/2023

This case study - a joint product of eyeWitness to Atrocities (eyeWitness),
Insecurity Insight, the Media Initiative for Human Rights (MIHR), and Physicians
for Human Rights (PHR) - expands on existing documentation of Russia’s
widespread and systematic attacks on Ukraine’s health care system. It explores
ways in which Russia has sought to systematically target health care as an
apparent means of degrading resistance and, in Ukraine’s occupied territories,
as a means of enforcing control over the civilian population, including by
limiting and conditioning access to health care through a range of coercive
practices. These practices include: (1) Russian forces misusing civilian health
facilities for nonmedical purposes; (2) requiring forced changes of nationality
as a precondition for gaining access to health care (otherwise known as
“passportization”); and (3) threatening and harassing health care professionals
as a way to further limit care and assert control over Ukraine’s health care
system. Based on a joint dataset, the study details a range of reported
incidents that collectively suggest an apparent pattern of illegal attacks on
health by Russia that both limit and violate the right to health of Ukrainian
civilians. These attacks are violations of both international humanitarian law
(IHL) and international human rights law. They also threaten the integrity of
Ukraine’s health care system, which, while resilient, faces ongoing challenges
following Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022.
Have attacks on healthcare become the new normal? a public health call to action
for armed conflicts before it is too late
12/06/2023
News
Karl Blanchet, Leonard Rubinstein, Bertrand Taithe & Larissa Fast
Conflict and Health

The scale of attacks on healthcare has become more visible and its impact
greater in recent armed conflicts in Ukraine, Sudan and Myanmar. In these
conflicts, combatants systematically target health facilities and ambulances. We
need to ensure that attacks on healthcare do not become the new norm amongst
governmental troops and non-State armed groups. There is limited evidence about
why and how attacks on healthcare have become “normal” practice amongst many
combatants, despite the likely tactical and strategic costs to themselves. We
are convinced that the problem now needs to be tackled like any other public
health issue by assessing: the scale of the problem; who is the most at risk;
identifying risk factors; developing new interventions to prevent the risks or
address the issue; and evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions.
