Abstract

The United States and United Kingdom have carried out a series of strikes upon Yemeni territory since January 2024. The acting States have justified these on the basis of the right of self-defence in response to the series of attacks that have been perpetrated by the Houthi group in Yemen against various commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea. On the face of it this was a relatively straightforward justification. Yet, when subjected to analysis it becomes evident that not only is the justification itself not clear, but that the law governing the actions—the jus ad bellum—is not sufficiently settled to provide clear parameters by which to assess the legality of the strikes. Furthermore, the strikes themselves, and the purposes for which they were undertaken, may have set a precedent with unforeseeable consequences.

美国和英国在也门的军事打击与诉诸战争权

自 2024 年 1 月以来，美国和联合王国对也门领土进行了一系列打击。针对也门胡塞团体在红海对各种商业和军事船只发动的一系列袭击，行动国以自卫权为由进行了辩解。从表面上看，这是一个相对简单的理由。然而，经过分析就会发现，不仅理由本身不明确，而且规范这些行动的法律--诉诸战争权--也没有得到充分解决，无法提供明确的参数来评估打击行动的合法性。此外，打击行动本身及其目的可能开创了一个先例，造成了不可预见的后果。
