Abstract

In this global and comparative study of Pacific War incarceration environments we explore the arc of the Pacific Basin as an archipelagic network of militarized penal sites. Grounded in spatial, physical and material analyses focused on experiences of civilian internees, minority citizens, and enemy prisoners of war, the book offers an architectural and urban understanding of the unfolding history and aftermath of World War II in the Pacific. Examples are drawn from Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Japan, and North America. The Architecture of Confinement highlights the contrasting physical facilities, urban formations and material character of various camps and the ways in which these uncover different interpretations of wartime sovereignty. The exclusion and material deprivation of selective populations within these camp environments extends the practices by which land, labor and capital are expropriated in settler-colonial societies; practices critical to identity formation and endemic to their legacies of liberal democracy.

Abstract

"The Additional Protocols to the 1949 Geneva Conventions remain a landmark in the development of international humanitarian law. The first two Additional Protocols were adopted by states in 1977. These protocols encompass the rules governing the treatment and protection of those in the power of an enemy, as well as the conduct of hostilities. Crucially, they address non-international armed conflicts and wars of national liberation. In 2005, a third additional protocol designating an additional distinctive humanitarian emblem was adopted in controversial circumstances. The Additional Protocols to the Geneva Conventions in Context interprets the key rules and issues of the Additional Protocols and considers their application and implementation over the past forty years. Taking a thematic approach, the book examines subjects including the protection of women, armed non-state actors, relief operations, and prohibited weapons. Each chapter discusses the pertinence of existing laws, the challenges raised by the rules in the Additional Protocols, and what more could be done to better protect civilians. This book also considers whether new technologies, such as offensive cyber operations and autonomous weapons, need new treaty rules to regulate their application in armed conflict."

Abstract

After the entry of the Red Army into Czechoslovak territory in 1945, Red Army authorities began to arrest and deport Czechoslovak citizens to labor camps in the Soviet Union. The regions most affected were Eastern and South Slovakia and Prague. The Czechoslovak authorities repeatedly requested a halt to the deportations and that the deported Czechoslovaks be returned immediately. It took a long time before these protests generated any response. Czechoslovak Diplomacy and the Gulag focuses on the diplomatic and political aspects of the deportations. The author explains the steps taken by the Czechoslovak Government in the repatriation agenda from 1945 to 1953 and reconstructs the negotiations with the Soviets. The research tries to answer the question of why and how the Russians deported the civilian population from Czechoslovakia which was their allied country already during the war. Key words: 1. World War, 1939–1945—Deportations from Czechoslovakia. 2. Forced labor—Soviet Union—History. 3. Labor camps—Soviet Union—History. 4. Czechs—Soviet Union—History. 5. Slovaks—Soviet Union—History. 6. Czechoslovakia—Foreign relations—Soviet Union. 7. Soviet Union—Foreign relations—Czechoslovakia. 8. Czechoslovakia—Foreign relations—1945–1992. 9. Repatriation—Czechoslovakia—History.

Abstract

It is generally accepted that detention in armed conflicts is an inevitable security measure that all warring parties use extensively in their daily operations. In such violent contexts, the legal protection afforded to detainees may be lifesaving. International humanitarian law (IHL) treaties recognise this reality in international armed conflicts by incorporating safeguards from unlawful and arbitrary detention in formulated legal grounds and procedural guarantees that the detaining powers are obliged to follow. The same guarantees are, however, not afforded to people affected by non-international armed conflicts under IHL. Instead, in the absence of a clearly defined international normative framework, security detention remains among the least regulated aspects of military behaviour in this type of armed conflict.

Abstract

The history of eugenics and racial nationalism in Central and Southeast Europe is a neglected topic of analysis in contemporary scholarship. The 20 essays in this volume, written by distinguished scholars of eugenics and fascism alongside a new generation of scholars, excavate the hitherto unknown eugenics movements in Central and Southeast Europe, including Austria and Germany. Eugenics and racial nationalism are topics that have constantly been marginalized and rated as incompatible with local national traditions in Central and Southeast Europe. These topics receive a new treatment here. On the one hand, the historiographic perspective connects developments in the history of anthropology and eugenics with political ideologies such as racial nationalism and anti-Semitism; on the other hand, it contests the 'Sonderweg' approach adopted by scholars dealing with these issues.

Abstract

L’originalité de cette étude sur la détention dans les conflits armés non internationaux découle principalement de l’articulation entre la norme du droit international humanitaire et celle du droit international des droits de l’homme. Tout en respectant le principe d’égalité face à la norme de droit international humanitaire, cette articulation permet de dégager, d’une part, les aspects communs à toutes les parties au conflit armé non international et, d’autre part, les spécificités d’une détention réalisée par les groupes armés et celle réalisée par les États. Ce modèle normatif présente principalement l’avantage tant de prendre en considération la réalité du droit opposable aux parties que de se projeter dans une perspective de lege ferenda. Il a pour mérite d’apporter une réponse réaliste et pragmatique à des aspects plus complexes que constituent la base légale, le motif et les garanties judiciaires de la détention dans les CANI. Il permet ainsi aux parties et aux CANI, tout en conservant ce qui leur est commun, d’appliquer les obligations que l’ordre juridique international leur impose dans leur spécificité.
