SROE considers self-defense an extension of unit-self-defense.
The SROE, which are the standard rules and regulations of engagement, defines military or nation self-defense to be an extension of unit-based Self-defense. The SROE was created to guide commanders in exercising national self defense outside of armed conflict. However, the term national self-defense is often confused with individual self-defense under criminal laws. This was due to the US entering non-international armed conflict, which left the US military with a confusing and sometimes contradictory self-defense landscape.
A threat is defined as a person who demonstrates hostile intent. However, a threat does not have to be immediate or even imminent in order to trigger self-defense. Unlike criminal law and other legal systems, the SROE uses similar definitions for national, unit and individual self defense. The SROE also identifies a triggering event as a hostile or demonstrative of hostile intent.
ICRC Commentary on the Additional Protocols mentions self defense
According to the ICRC Commentary, the Additional Protocol, any hostilities participant must provide humane treatment to all civilians held in its custody. This includes the treatment of the wounded. The article forbids the use or threat of force against civilians. Hostages and prisoners of war must be treated according to the same standards. The article also stipulates that any attack on civilians must not be excessive. In other words, collateral damage and injury must not exceed the expected concrete and immediate military benefit. Furthermore, targets must be reasonable in assuming civilian safety and security.
Articles of Additional Protocols describe civilian-protection provisions in a broad sense. These provisions are applicable to structures like bridges, power plants and chemical factories. Some structures might be civilian-protected while others may not. A civilian-protected structure may be considered a civilian defense measure, despite not being mentioned in the ICRC Commentary to Additional Protocols.
ICRC Commentary
The ICRC just released an Interpretive Guidance regarding military self defense. This will change the nature a cross-border war to how the territorial state consents to force. This Commentary however, also exposes a flaw. It is not legally binding. Only state laws and agreements can produce a binding law. This Interpretive Guidance was created by the tireless efforts and expertise of the ICRC. It is a normative paradigm that sets out how to approach such situations.
Although the ICRC was initially of the opinion that an armed attack on civilians on the territory of a state does not necessarily constitute an act of war, the new Commentary concludes that the 1958 interpretation was too restrictive. Although the IAC doesn't stipulate that a state has to intervene in a war, it does not prohibit it from taking military action against civilians. The ICRC believes that an armed dispute is created when one state uses force in order to protect civilians.
