While the relationship between the jus in bello and international human rights law has been the subject of considerable debate, less attention has been paid to the relationship between the jus ad bellum and human rights. The United Nations Human Rights Committee’s General Comment 36 on the right to life, adopted on 30 October 2018, brought these questions to the fore with the Committee’s pronouncement that ‘States parties engaged in acts of aggression as defined in international law, resulting in deprivation of life, violate ipso facto article 6 of the Covenant’. The contributions in this Symposium assess three ways of viewing the relationship between the protection of human rights and resort to force. First, the suggestion that resort to force in violation of the jus ad bellum will amount to a violation of the right to life is explored. Second, some contributions examine different arguments as to whether international law permits, justifies or excuses resort to force to protect human rights, and indeed whether it can change to permit such. Third, one contribution examines whether the crime of aggression, as defined in the ICC Statute, covers resort to force to protect human rights.

人权与诉诸武力：研讨会简介

虽然战时法与国际人权法之间的关系一直是争论不休的主题，但很少有人关注诉诸战争法与人权之间的关系。联合国人权事务委员会关于生命权的第 36 号一般性意见于 2018 年 10 月 30 日通过，委员会宣布“缔约国从事国际法所界定的侵略行生命，事实上违反了《公约》第 6 条”。本次研讨会的论文评估了三种看待人权保护与诉诸武力之间关系的方式。首先，探讨违反诉诸战争权诉诸武力构成侵犯生命权的主张。第二，一些文章研究了关于国际法是否允许、证明或借口诉诸武力来保护人权以及实际上是否可以改变以允许这样做的不同论点。第三，一篇文章研究了《国际刑事法院规约》中定义的侵略罪是否包括诉诸武力来保护人权。
