Abstract:
Professor Gioia’s chapter ‘The Belligerent Occupation of Territory’ provides a clear overview and a carefully constructed analysis of the Commission’s treatment of the relevant issues of the law relating to the belligerent occupation of territory by both parties to the Eritrea-Ethiopia conflict. The present chapter provides a commentary on his analysis and will focus on two issues which rightfully received substantial attention in Gioia’s chapter: the applicability of the law of occupation to territory to which title is disputed and the distinction between invasion and occupation. This will be followed with a few concluding remarks relating to these issues and the general relevance of the law of belligerent occupation at the present time.
