2.3 Military Occupation

The occupation (the GC IV-and-Hague Regulations' regime): the enemy's effective control over the territory without the sovereignty's transfer (the 1907's line: the territory "actually placed under the authority of the hostile army"). The occupier's duties: the public order restored (the administration's continuity); the local laws respected (the changes only for necessity-and-security); the population's humane treatment (the GC IV's protections: no deportation, no hostages, the family-and-property respect); the resources' administration (the pillage's bar; the public property's usufruct faces). The occupation's modern cases: the West Bank's-and-Gaza's decades; the Iraq 2003 era; the Crimea-and-East faces; the occupation law's debates (the prolonged occupation, the settlements' illegality line).
