International humanitarian law and the targeting of non-state intelligence personnel and objects

This Article examines the targetability of individuals and organizations performing intelligence functions for a non-State group involved in an armed conflict. Specifically, it considers the circumstances under which they lose the international humanitarian law (IHL) protections from, and during, attacks that they would otherwise enjoy as civilians. To do so, the piece deconstructs IHL’s “organized armed group” construct to determine when an intelligence organization can be characterized as a component thereof. Noting that some non-State groups consist of both entities involved in the hostilities and organizations having no relationship to them, the Article introduces the concept of a non-State group’s “overall OAG,” a notion that parallel’s the characterization of a State’s various military units as its “armed forces.” Additionally, the Article assesses the circumstances under which individuals engaged in activities intelligence who are not members of an OAG may be targeted on the basis of their “direct participation in the hostilities.

With One\u27s Own Arms: Condottieri, Machiavelli, and the Rise of the Florentine Militia

This paper examines the use of mercenary warfare on the Italian peninsula during the late 15th and early 16th centuries. It later focuses on the unique political and economic environment in Florence that led to Niccolo Machiavelli orchestrating the creation of the Florentine militia

RMS/Rate Dynamics via Localized Modes

We consider some reduction from nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell equation to rms/rate equations for second moments related quantities. Our analysis is based on variational wavelet approach to rational (in dynamical variables) approximation. It allows to control contribution from each scale of underlying multiscales and represent solutions via multiscale exact nonlinear eigenmodes (waveletons) expansions. Our approach provides the possibility to work with well-localized bases in phase space and best convergence properties of the corresponding expansions without perturbations or/and linearization procedures.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, JAC2001.cls, presented at European Particle Accelerator Conference (EPAC02), Paris, June 3-7, 2002; changed from A4 to US format for correct printin
