Abstract

Collective punishment describes the punishment of a group for an act allegedly committed by one or more of its members and is prohibited in times of armed conflict. It is not explicitly prohibited in situations outside of armed conflict governed by human rights law. This contribution centers on a case study on collective punishment in Chechnya from the two Chechen Wars up until today. Recent years have witnessed the destruction of family homes of alleged insurgents in Chechnya. As it is unclear whether the armed conflict in Chechnya is still ongoing, it is equally unclear whether the law of armed conflict and the explicit prohibition of collective punishment apply to those punitive house burnings. This contribution explores the relation between the law of armed conflict and human rights law regarding collective punishment and concludes that, theoretically, human rights law could encompass such a prohibition.

车臣的惩罚性房屋焚烧:武装冲突之外的集体惩罚是否被禁止?

集体惩罚是指对一个团体的一名或多名成员据称犯下的行为进行惩罚，在武装冲突期间是被禁止的。在人权法规定的武装冲突之外的情况下，没有明确禁止这种行为。这一贡献集中在从两次车臣战争到今天的车臣集体惩罚的案例研究。近年来，在车臣，被指控为叛乱分子的人的家园遭到破坏。由于不清楚车臣的武装冲突是否仍在进行，同样不清楚的是，武装冲突法和明确禁止集体惩罚是否适用于这些惩罚性焚烧房屋。这篇文章探讨了武装冲突法和关于集体惩罚的人权法之间的关系，并得出结论，从理论上讲，人权法可以包括这种禁止。

期刊介绍： Review of Central and East European Law critically examines issues of legal doctrine and practice in the CIS and CEE regions. An important aspect of this is, for example, the harmonization of legal principles and rules; another facet is the legal impact of the intertwining of domestic economies, on the one hand, with regional economies and the processes of international trade and investment on the other. The Review offers a forum for discussion of topical questions of public and private law. The Review encourages comparative research; it is hoped that, in this way, additional insights in legal developments can be communicated to those interested in questions, not only of law, but also of politics, economics, and of society of the CIS and CEE countries.
