In seiner Replik weist Alston darauf hin, dass "humanitarian law" klar zum Mandat des Sonderberichterstatters gehört (Rn.45). Schließlich geht er auf das Verhältnis von humanitärem Völkerrecht und Menschenrechten ein: "The implications of the United States position in this regard would appear to be twofold: | |||
(i) extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, falling within the Special Rapporteur’s | |||
mandate, can take place only in situations where international human rights law applies; and | |||
(ii) where humanitarian law is applicable, it operates to exclude human rights law. | |||
49. Acceptance of this analysis would dramatically reduce the mandate of the Special | |||
Rapporteur since so many of the executions brought to his attention take place in contexts of | |||
armed conflict. It would mean that in many situations in which a Government declares itself to | |||
be under attack and argues that the resulting conflict is governed by the laws of armed conflict, | |||
the applicability of human rights law would be entirely excluded". | |||
