As part of its mandate to promote accurate legal analysis and counter distorted narratives, ODVV sought expert insight from one of the leading authorities in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Emily Crawford, a leading scholar of international law, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law at the University of Sydney Law School, joined the Organization for Defending Victims of Violence (ODVV) for an in\u2011depth discussion on the legal complexities surrounding recent events in Iran. With extensive academic and practical expertise in the law of armed conflict, the classification of violence, and state responsibility, Professor Crawford offers a rigorous legal framework for understanding situations that fall between peaceful protest and armed confrontation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this interview, she addresses several critical themes, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The scope and limits of the principle of non\u2011intervention<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legal thresholds distinguishing civil demonstrations from non\u2011international armed conflict<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Obligations of states and third parties toward civilian protection<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Whether current international legal mechanisms adequately address \u201cgrey\u2011zone\u201d situations<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her insights provide a structured legal lens for evaluating claims of foreign involvement, the nature of organized violence, and the responsibilities of states under international law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The views expressed in this interview do not necessarily reflect the official positions of the Organization for Defending Victims of Violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The full transcript of this important exchange follows.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9d79efa7c9169ae950e3e7ffdff3a643 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. From an IHL and general international law perspective, how should the principle of non-intervention be assessed when external actors are alleged to have influenced the internal trajectory of civilian protests in a sovereign state?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Non-intervention is subject to significant debate as to its parameters with a broad reading saying it\u2019s&nbsp;<em>any&nbsp;<\/em>unwanted involvement in a foreign State&#8217;s affairs to a more narrow assessment which would say only those forms of intervention that get to the level outlined in&nbsp;<em>Nicaragua&nbsp;<\/em>&#8211; so funding civilian protests in another State, sending people to protest etc. but that wouldn\u2019t go so far as to include support for protestors.&nbsp; So, I think you&#8217;d have to say that generalized support for protestors (like States have done recently with the Iranian protestors) would not amount to a violation of the principle of non-intervention but that funding such protests or providing other tangible support on the ground probably would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7cf13c3a0015acd35d30e53a709e181a wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>2.\u00a0What legal standards exist to distinguish peaceful civilian demonstrations from situations that evolve into non-international armed conflict, particularly where the involvement of organized armed elements is alleged?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In IHL it\u2019s found in Protocol II &#8211; that the Protocol would not apply to &#8216;riots, isolated and sporadic acts of violence and other acts of a similar nature&#8217; &#8211; so anything that lacks a degree of organization (i.e. that there is an organizational policy to both the violence and to the perpetrators) would not apply.&nbsp; The rules have been well-developed in the case law of the ICTY and explain in detail what is require to distinguish protests &#8211; even violent protests &#8211; from NIAC &#8211; so the kinds of weapons, the targets, the organizational structure of the armed group etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-61259d8e8bdfdf299d1dfbf4af2a4622 wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>3.In such contexts, what are the obligations of states and third parties regarding the protection of civilians and the prohibition of indirect participation in internal hostilities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no international law prohibition on participation (either direct or indirect) in NIAC by civilians &#8211; they just don\u2019t enjoy any special protections for such participation and will lose their civilian immunity for as long as they participate.&nbsp; In terms of States and NIAC, State are governed by the general rules on State responsibility and any relevant international human rights law &#8211; though the complication there is that there are jurisdictional limitations regarding the application of IHRL.&nbsp; If they intervene, they might be considered parties to the conflict and would then be bound by existing IHL rules on the protection of civilians.&nbsp; If they were only involved tangentially and not to a level that it could be considered a party to the conflict, they will still be bound by the rules on State responsibility if they violate international law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5f3b726f6e908700f168835e2cacb9f0 wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>4. Do you see current international legal mechanisms as sufficient to address these grey-zone situations, or is there a normative gap in IHL when unrest does not neatly fall within classical armed conflict categories?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t think the problem is the law &#8211; the intersection of IHL and human rights law has enough in it to provide sufficient protections &#8211; it\u2019s always just a matter of compliance by the State and enforcement and accountability &#8211; the rules are there, there is just frequently the unwillingness to follow those rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International Legal Perspectives on Civil Unrest and External Intervention: An Interview with Professor Emily Crawford In
