چکیده

اسناد بشردوستانه به ممنوعیت استفاده از سپر انسانی اذعان داشته و اساسنامه دیوان کیفری بین المللی نیز به صراحت آن را از مصادیق جنایت جنگی قلمداد می کند. با این حال شرایط تحقق جرم استفاده از سپر انسانی چندان روشن نیست. مقاله حاضر سعی دارد نقض ممنوعیت استفاده از سپر انسانی به عنوان یکی از مصادیق جنایات جنگی و عناصر و شرایط تحقق آن را بررسی کند. دیگر نقطه تمرکز مهم این پژوهش مسأله استفاده از سپر انسانی در مخاصمات غیر بین‌المللی است که اسناد بین المللی در خصوص آن ساکت به نظر می‌رسند.

چکیده [English]

These days we hear many news about using poor people as Human Shield, while Humanitarian regulations have prohibited this action absolutely, even Statute of International Criminal Court (ICC) has considered it as a War Crime. This article surveys the violation of the prohibition on using of Human Shield as a War Crime and its necessary elements and conditions too. On the other hand, whereas Statute of ICC enumerates it as a War Crime in International Armed Conflicts expressly, possibility or not being a War Crime in Non-International Armed Conflicts will be surveyed as well.
