Editorial
Welcome to issue 58-1 of The Military Law and the Law of War Review. First launched
almost six decades ago in 1962 under the auspices of the International Society for
Military Law and the Law of War, the Review has always served as a leading forum
for debate among legal scholars and practitioners, providing an outlet for high-quality
publications on all aspects of military law, the law of armed conflict, law on the use of
force, as well as international criminal law and human rights law, inasmuch as they are
related to situations of armed conflict.
This issue of the Review marks a new and important step in its existence as this is
the first time that Edward Elgar Publishing has handled the technical aspects of the
publication which have long been managed by the able and motivated members of the
Belgian Group of the International Society. We are thankful for the continuous and
invaluable support of the Belgian Group and all associated persons, and we are now
looking forward to this new exciting chapter. We hope that our longstanding readers
will appreciate the new look and style of the Review and that our new readers will
rapidly be convinced by the Review's established standards and dedication which we
aim to uphold and strengthen.
We are thus very happy and proud to present our readers - those who already know
us and those who are getting to know us - with a great selection of articles that
perfectly showcase the diversity and relevance of the topics that fall within the scope
of our publication.
First, Frederik Harhoff analyses the specificities, difficulties and importance of
securing evidence of serious violations of international humanitarian law and inter-
national human rights committed in armed conflicts for the purpose of (international)
judicial proceedings. The author offers relevant recommendations for military person-
nel participating in joint military operations abroad.
Ka Lok Yip then examines the tendencies to define the scope of application of jus
ad bellum negatively in relation to the scope of application of jus in bello and
demonstrates their neutralising effect on the prohibition on the use of force under
Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations.
Next, Mateusz Piqtkowski presents the origins and evolution of the markings of
military aircraft under the law of aerial warfare and their legal significance, as a core
element of the military aircraft definition.
Finally, Francisco Lobo revisits the 'capture or kill' debate in the field of the law of
armed conflict by offering a fresh outlook that reconstrues the notion of 'human
enhancement of soldiers' from a normative standpoint.
We hope you enjoy this issue!
