Adventures of a Hero of Mulilateralism
Posted by Michael Osborne

Responding to my post of yesterday, in which I made the point that France had intervened without UN authorisation in the civil war in Côte d'Ivoire, KB says that “when the French deployed in 2002 it did so at the request of the legitimate government of the IC and therefore didn't need UN say so.”

The French action has not been adjudicated in any international tribunal but I suspect that if it was it might well be found to have been unlawful. For one thing, by the time the French arrived on the scene a large portion of the north of the country had been seized by opponents of President Laurent Gbagbo, who had thereafter requested French assistance.  Under international law, if rebel forces succeed in acquiring control over a significant portion of the country, the conflict advances to a state of "insurgency," by which time the government's inability to control the entirety of its territory renders its claim to legitimacy uncertain.  Short of U.N. authorisation, states are then expected to refrain from offering assistance to either side in the conflict, inasmuch as any assistance would likely influence the outcome of what has now become a civil war.

" Short of U.N. authorisation, states are then expected to refrain from offering assistance to either side in the conflict"

Well the french deployment out of their existing base in the IC in october 2002 was part of the ceasefire agreement between the 2 sides. Both sides wanted a 3rd party to patrol the ceasefire line and whilst ECOWAS was the favoured choice they didn't manage to deploy until jan 2003. The french were the only other available party. So if both sides request it I don't see how it's illegal.

When after the ECOWAS arrived the ceasefire brokedown then the UN SC passed Res 1464 on the 4th feb 2003.

IIRC, there was, in fact, ex post facto approval of the intervention by the UNSC, as kb mentions.

I have also heard that several of France's former colonial possessions incorporate authorization for French intervention in their constitutions. Not being able to read French (the language the relevant documents are most likely written in), I am unable to say with certainty if this is true, however, French behavior in the relevant states suggests that it is.

I like to earn the World of Warcraft Gold very much, I want to have a lot of warcraft gold in the game, i do not satisfy the old equipment and so i have to buy wow gold to buy the new equipment to make me strong. If i am very strong in the game i can get some cheap wow gold as the rewards in the game. So i like the game very much.

Thank you for your sharing.! seslichat seslisohbet

Thank you for your sharing! I like i very much!

The sides are beautifully sculpted and the lugs extend from the bottom of the case in a way that compliments almost any strap,or the bracelet.The design is very fluid,and it sits perfectly on my wrist.Replica Kenneth Cole Watches is solid,smooth,and has a very vintage feel to it.The crown is a lovely size and features the Benarus three dolphin logo on its edge.The bezel is a Replica Jacques Lemans F1 120 click dive timer that fits the case perfectly with no play,wiggle or flex.Replica Immersion Watches of any case is in its details which is where the Moray excels.Its retro design seamlessly integrates with the solid end links of the bracelet.The dial is quite unique as well; Replica Jacques Lemans Watches is a very dark grey/black with a slightly tactile metallic tone -- not glossy or smooth.It's very hard to describe,and I have attempted to capture it in the photos.The markers and numbers on the dial are not inlaid but appear to be made of painted on C3 luminous paint.The lume is first rate; it charges quickly and lasted well into the night or through a movie.The hour and second hand have metallic edges while the minute hand has orange edges that cause it to stand out.This is my only issue with the Moray: I'm not a big fan of the continuity of the orange hand.It's not bad,but Replica Orient Watches really stands out.(The Ocean7 LM-2 has a similar orange minute hand,but it matches the orange accents on the reflector,second hand,and logo.)The dial is almost sterile,only indicating the brand,the automatic movement,and the water resistance.The date window is small and unobtrusive with white text on a black wheel located between the 4 and 5 markers.The dial design is very similar to that found on Panerai Replica Hamilton Watches,but the hands,date Replica Leonard Watches,and paint application has little in common with Panerai.
