Most legal systems deny civilians a right to compensation for losses they sustain during belligerent activities. Arguments for recognising such a right are usually divorced, to various degrees, from the moral and legal underpinnings of the notion of inflicting a wrongful loss under either international humanitarian law or domestic tort law. My aim in this article is to advance a novel account of states’ tortious liability for belligerent wrongdoing, drawing on both international humanitarian law and corrective justice approaches to domestic tort law. Structuring my account on both frameworks, I argue that some of the losses that states inflict during war are private law wrongs that establish a claim of compensation in tort. Only in cases where the in bello principles are observed can losses to person and property be justified and non-wrongful. Otherwise, they constitute wrongs, which those who inflict them have duties of corrective justice to repair.

交战过错的侵权责任

大多数法律制度否认平民有权就他们在交战活动中遭受的损失获得赔偿。承认这种权利的论据通常在不同程度上脱离了根据国际人道主义法或国内侵权法造成不法损失这一概念的道德和法律基础。我在本文中的目的是利用国际人道法和国内侵权法的纠正性司法方法，提出一种关于国家对交战不法行为的侵权责任的新颖描述。在构建我对这两个框架的解释时，我认为国家在战争期间造成的一些损失是私法错误，确立了侵权赔偿要求。只有在遵守战时原则的情况下，人员和财产损失才具有正当性和非过错性。
