The Right Of Self-Defence Under International Law - The Response To The Terroris Discusses if the international law relating to selfdefence provides detailed guidance on the legality of the totality of the United States' military operations. By Angus Martyn, published by the australian Parliamentary Library. http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/CIB/2001-02/02cib08.htm
Extractions: 12 February 2002 Contents Introduction Chronology International Terrorism and International Law Individual and State Legal Responsibility for 11 September ... Endnotes Introduction The events of 11 September and the subsequent military response by the United States and its allies raise some difficult issues in international law. Does an attack by a non-state terrorist group give rise to the right of self-defence as understood under international law? Under what circumstances was the Taliban regime as the Afghani government itself a legitimate target for military action under the self-defence doctrine? To what extent was the United States entitled to dictate the terms by which the Taliban regime should act before the military action would cease against it and Al Qaeda bases on Afghani soil? Only the first issue can be answered-yes-with any degree of confidence. The others are clouded with uncertainty. To some extent this uncertainty reflects the shift of international law away from an emphasis on regulating relations between sovereign states (countries) towards having to incorporate the actions of non-state groups within the legal framework. As part of this shift, the responsibility of governments for the actions of non-state groups such as the international terrorist network Al Qaeda is receiving increasing attention. The periodic use of military force by the United States against such organizations and so-called 'state sponsors of terrorism' during the 1990s appears to be forcing a change in accepted state practice and hence (arguably) influencing the boundaries of international customary law.

Through the efforts of a dedicated few, permission was eventually given to operate some of these aircraft on the civil aviation register under a special "Permit to Fly". It was anticipated that only a few such aircraft would ever be involved but, as is now evident

THE SQUARE The life and experiences of staff cadets at Australia's Royal military College Duntroon, Canberra, during the 1960's. Includes details of military and academic training, traditions, routines, legends, and of more contoversial topics. Includes many photos and links. Created by several staff cadets and graduates who served in the australian Army at the time. http://mywebpage.netscape.com/rmcduntroon/
Extractions: THE SQUARE (Duntroon's Parade Ground) as viewed from The Grave on Mount Pleasant. THE SQUARE is central to any Duntroon experience. I was paraded on THE SQUARE when I first arrived at Duntroon. I was on it or beside it almost every single day of my life in the Corps of Staff Cadets. I graduated on it. And it was the last place I visited before I left. Since it was at the core of our time in The Corps, it is a natural centre for this RMC Duntroon site. As you explore this site, you'll find on every page a link that brings you back here - to THE SQUARE. As for The Grave on Mount Pleasant ... if you couldn't recite the inscription instantly, a senior cadet would tell you to bog off and learn it by heart, as part of Duntroon's famous 'bastardisation' system. On this site, we'll help you learn this and other arcane Duntroon rituals, by giving you the full RMC Indoctrination document and a sample Screed Test (see links below).
