Topic: Fyodor Martens


  
  Friedrich Martens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich Fromhold Martens, or Friedrich Fromhold von Martens, also known as Fyodor Fyodorovich Martens (Фёдор Фёдорович Мартенс) in Russian and Frederic Frommhold (de) Martens in French (27 August 1845 - 20 June 1909) was a Russian diplomat and jurist who made important contributions to the science of international law.
Of Martens’ original works his International Law of Civilised Nations is perhaps the best known; it was written in Russian, a German edition appearing in 1884-1885, and a French edition in 1887-1888.
Friedrich Martens should not be confused with Georg Friedrich von Martens (1756–1821) who was incidentally also an international lawyer, born in Hamburg.

 Treaty of Portsmouth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was signed on September 5, 1905 at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard near Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States, by Sergius Witte and Roman Rosen for Russia, and by Komura Jutaro and Takahira Kogoro for Japan.
Fyodor Martens and other diplomats from both nations stayed in New Castle, New Hampshire, at the grand Hotel Wentworth by the Sea, and were ferried to negotiations held across the Piscataqua River on the base located in Kittery, Maine.
The treaty contained language ratifying the secret Taft-Katsura agreement between U. Secretary of War William Howard Taft and Japanese Prime Minister Taro Katsura, whereby the U.S. agreed not to interfere in Korea as long as Japan did not interfere with U.S. interests in the Philippines.

 Fyodor Fyodorovich Martens (1845-1909) - a humanist of modern times
Martens believed that it was time to "start looking into the laws of the historical development of nations in their international life".
Martens considered protection of the rights, interests and property of a human being to be the substance of the entire system of international relations and regarded respect for human rights as a yardstick of the degree of civilization of States and international relations.
Martens was fascinated by the fact that a country as small as Switzerlandhad seven universities, that the university jubilee was being celebrated as a public holiday by the town and the whole canton of Bern and that this little canton maintained a university and provided for it better than Russia did for her institutions.

 The Applicability of the Geneva Convention to a War on Terror
The clause was articulated by Fyodor Martens, the Russian delegate to the Hague Peace Conference, in order to overcome a dispute over whether resistance fighters were entitled to POW status.
However, the Martens Clause today represents the idea that even if there are not concrete provisions regulating new situations and means of warfare in the Conventions, the assertion of the complete absence of law is not permitted.
The Martens Clause, as it appears in the Conventions, stipulates that when in doubt, prisoners should be treated in accordance with the principles of the laws of nations as established by the laws of humanity and the dictates of the public conscience.

This principle is reflected in the "Martens" Clause," which was first included in the Preamble of the Hague Convention of 1899 and has been replicated in subsequent law of war treaties and statutes.
The "Martens Clause" took its name from Fyodor Martens, the Russian diplomat responsible for first proposing the language during the first World Peace Conference in The Hague in 1899.
The continuing validity of this clause in the analysis of protections applicable during armed conflicts was most recently confirmed by the International Court of Justice in the advisory opinion on the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons.

In 1899, Fyodor Martens laid down the following principle for cases not covered by humanitarian law: “(...) civilians and combatants remain under the protection and authority of the principles of international law derived from established custom, from the principles of humanity and from the dictates of public conscience.”
The above, known as the Martens clause, was already considered a standard part of customary law when it was incorporated in Article 1, paragraph 2, of Additional Protocol I
While Rousseau and Martens established principles of humanity, the authors of the St. Petersburg Declaration formulated, both explicitly and implicitly, the principles of distinction, military necessity and prevention of unnecessary suffering, as follows:

On Tuesday, the Hemingway group visited the rambling hacienda of Finca Vigia just east of Havana where the author lived from 1939 to 1960, a year before he committed suicide in Ketchum, Idaho.
Posters of Spanish bullfights and stuffed animal heads cover the walls, and a leopard animal skin stretches across a wide couch in front of Hemingway's massive mahogany desk.
The group also met Hemingway's former cook, Alberto "Fico" Ramos, and planned to visit the seaside fishing village of Cojimar, where Hemingway docked the Pilar, his 40-foot fishing boat.

 International humanitarian law and the International Criminal Court
The role of international customs?namely, binding international rules that are to be guaranteed even when there are no treaties, was also advocated in the nineteenth century by an important humanitarian, Fyodor Martens.
International humanitarian customs now find their place in international law, recognized even in treaties, and are expressed as the Martens Clause to the effect that:
Civilians and combatants remain under the protection and authority of the principles of international law derived from established custom, from the principles of humanity and from the dictates of public conscience.

The preamble to Protocol II, which applies to non-international armed conflict, similarly recalls that "in cases not covered by the law in force, the human person remains under the protection of the principles of humanity and the dictates of public conscience."
This wording finds its origins in the work of a remarkable Russian diplomat and scholar, Fyodor Martens, who played a central role in the work of the two Peace Conferences called by Czar Nicholas II and held in The Hague in 1899 and 1907.
It was he who proposed the generous humanitarian wording to resolve an impasse in the drafting of the Hague Convention on the laws and customs of war.
