Despite mounting evidence of atrocity crimes committed by the Syrian government and ISIL, the U.S. administrations’ legal justifications for the use of force have centred on more established – albeit in the Syrian context controversial – legal justifications, illustrating the limitations of the Responsibility to Protect in providing a legal framework for the use of force on humanitarian grounds. Nonetheless, the Syrian crisis represents a critical juncture in the evolution of the Responsibility to Protect and the legal justifications provided by the U.S. have implications on this development, particularly with regards to the doctrine’s third pillar on the use of force.","PeriodicalId":37206,"journal":{"name":"Journal on the Use of Force and International Law","volume":"8 1","pages":"233 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42572620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exception is, however, seen as operating asymmetrically, in that while states are permitted to counter-intervene in support of governmental regimes they are not permitted to intervene in support of non-state opposition groups should the governmental regime be in receipt of prior assistance in the context of the civil war. The purpose of this article is to probe the asymmetrical interpretation of the doctrine of counter-intervention in testing whether it can be said to stand up to scrutiny, as well as explore the possibilities for a symmetrical interpretation of the doctrine and the legal and policy issues involved in extending it in this way.","PeriodicalId":37206,"journal":{"name":"Journal on the Use of Force and International Law","volume":"8 1","pages":"34 - 66"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20531702.2021.1917872","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46569373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If, however, a prohibition indeed remains the starting point under the lex lata, that critical view largely depends on the legal transformation of state silence into acquiescence. This article contests such a transformation based on the accepted conditions for acquiescence to arise, concerns which are confirmed by two case studies on interventions in the Libyan and Yemeni civil wars. As a result, states’ inaction to controversial military operations rarely qualifies as ‘negative opinio juris’. Indeed, the erosion of customary international norms, especially those that regulate sending troops to war, surely requires more than a few deviant states and a regrettable but legally inconsequential apathy by the international community.","PeriodicalId":37206,"journal":{"name":"Journal on the Use of Force and International Law","volume":"8 1","pages":"4 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20531702.2021.1918383","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43555518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This creates a form of long-term military assistance for the host states that can transcend periods of both peace and armed conflict. The assistance may be sought as such by the host states, or it may be a de facto situation that results from the presence of the foreign troops. This article defines and examines some questions of international law that arise from these arrangements, with a focus on the legal implications for the host states. These implications can include sharing legal responsibility for unlawful acts of the state using the base, the erosion of host-state neutrality when that state is engaged in an armed conflict, and questions about the nature of the host state’s sovereignty in the leased area.","PeriodicalId":37206,"journal":{"name":"Journal on the Use of Force and International Law","volume":"8 1","pages":"67 - 90"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/20531702.2020.1794441","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46128495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
