Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Internment pursuant to GC4 during an IAC: practice from Norway
Q: What are some of the practical implications for Norwegian forces of Rule 6.88 in situations where a number of persons need to be interned at once and urgently within a conflict setting?
The main argument against individual assessment is that it will be too complicated to carry out when dealing with a large number of persons; however, expedited processes followed by detailed assessments are recommended.
Internment pursuant to GC4 during an IAC: practice from Norway
Q: Could you please elaborate on the basis for Rule 6.88 of the manual and its requirement to take internment decisions on an individual basis, and whether it is understood to be reflective of an illegal obligation?
The requirement to only intern civilians when it is absolutely necessary is interpreted to require a strict assessment of the need to intern.
Procedures for internment review under the Fourth Geneva Convention: reflections from New Zealand
Q: What other characteristics of internment review bodies would you say are important?
The review body should include people with appropriate experience in fact-finding and knowledge of military matters and should have the authority to make binding decisions.
Procedures for internment review under the Fourth Geneva Convention: reflections from New Zealand
Q: Some would argue that the military cannot be independent and impartial in reviewing internment orders. What would you say to that?
Military lawyers are trained to implement the law without fear or favour, and independence is reinforced by policy and orders in the New Zealand Military Manual.
Procedures for internment review under the Fourth Geneva Convention: reflections from New Zealand
Q: What is the purpose of review of internment orders? Why is it important?
The internment review is intended to determine if an individual should be released, transferred to civilian authorities, or interned for reasons of security, especially in battlefield conditions.
