Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract This chapter reviews the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate killings in the jus in bello, the laws of wartime behavior. It explores how the laws of war were drafted by the powerful to favor themselves, noting that the strong disdain restraint by law because they can, while the weak disregard law in war because they must. It critiques the Lieber code said to have advanced the laws of war as a wartime justification for hard war against any resistance to state authority. That leads to extremism at both ends with civilians trapped in the middle. The chapter talks about targeting persons for torture or killing who would be classified as civilians, an established pattern in First Nations conflicts in the Americas. Precolonial wars were fought down to the village level between Iroquois and Algonquin in upper New York, Lower Canada, the Great Lakes, and St. Lawrence River valley. It all got worse in the 20th century, as major belligerents in the two world wars and afterward all turned to blockade, starvation, and terror tactics to break civilian morale.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
