ABSTRACT If nuclear war occurs, non-belligerents want the conductors to take responsibility for providing assistance to deal with harm imposed on them. This harm could take the form of radioactive fallout, climatic change that causes global food shortages and refugee crises. But states and experts preoccupied with winning (or at least not losing) wars that could go nuclear have largely ignored questions of post facto accountability. Nuclear-armed states claim to be responsible, defensive actors; therefore, they should not object if others demand processes to adjudicate the conduct of nuclear war after the fact and provide reparations and remedies to victims in non-belligerent nations. Indeed, international efforts to establish such accountability could strengthen deterrence against aggression and use of nuclear weapons.

核战争后的责任制：为什么不提前计划？

摘要如果发生核战争，则非交战方希望指挥人员承担提供援助的责任，以应对施加于他们的伤害。这种危害可以采取放射性尘埃，气候变化的形式，从而导致全球粮食短缺和难民危机。但是，全神贯注于可能打核的胜利（或至少不会失败）战争的州和专家在很大程度上忽略了事后问责制的问题。核武国家声称是负责任的防御行为者；因此，如果其他人要求在事后裁定进行核战争，并向非交战国家的受害者提供赔偿和补救，他们就不应反对。实际上，为建立这种问责制而进行的国际努力可能会加强对侵略和使用核武器的威慑力。
