At its seventy-first session in 2019, the International Law Commission (ilc) provisionally adopted twenty-eight draft principles related to the protection of the environment before, during and after armed conflict. This article argues that the ilc ought to consider proposing a framework convention as the final outcome of this project, as this could result in better protection of the environment than draft principles. Framework conventions have featured in international environmental law but they have not yet been used to progressively develop the law of armed conflict. This article argues that the hybrid legal nature of protecting the environment during the conduct of hostilities ought to incorporate solutions from relevant fields of international law. To that end, there are many merits to proposing a framework convention approach in the final outcome of the ilc’s programme of work on this issue.

国际法委员会（ilc）在2019年的第71届会议上临时通过了与武装冲突之前，之中和之后的环境保护相关的28条原则草案。本文认为，ilc应该考虑提议一项框架公约作为该项目的最终成果，因为与原则草案相比，这可能导致对环境的更好保护。框架公约已成为国际环境法的特征，但尚未被用来逐步发展武装冲突法。本文认为，在敌对行动期间保护环境的混合法律性质应纳入国际法相关领域的解决方案。为此，ilc在此问题上的工作计划的最终结果中提出框架公约方法是有很多优点的。
