Das Kriegsvölkerrecht - Theoretische Grundlagen und praktische Anwendung am Beispiel des Zweiten Weltkrieges unter besonderer Beachtung des Ostfeldzugs des Dritten ReichesGRIN Verlag, 2007 - 236 pages Vordiplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Theorie und Ideengeschichte, Note: 1,7, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg, 22 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Laufe der Menschheitsgeschichte ist es ständig zu Kriegen zwischen Staaten, Kulturen und Weltanschauungen gekommen. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich in erster Linie mit dem Kriegsvölkerrecht (oder auch Humanitären Völkerrecht), seiner Entstehungsgeschichte und der Umsetzung desselben im Zweiter Weltkrieg. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass es sich hierbei um eine sehr weitreichende Thematik handelt, beschränkt sich diese Arbeit auf die Vergehen gegen das Völkerrecht und die Kriegsverbrechen der deutschen Wehrmacht, sowie der angegliederten Organisationen, wie der SS, dem SD und der Gestapo während des Ostfeldzugs des Dritten Reiches, der 1941 begann und als "Unternehmen Barbarossa" in die Geschichte einging. Nach den einleitenden Worten, werden im zweiten Abschnitt die theoretischen Grundlagen des Völkerrechts bis zum Kriegsbeginn anno 1939 vorgestellt. Der dritte Abschnitt, das Hauptthema dieser Arbeit, setzt sich mit den Kriegsverbrechen und den Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit auseinander, die unwiderlegbar, während des Angriffskrieges gegen die Sowjetunion und in der Zeit der Okkupation geschehen sind. Im vierten Abschnitt werden die Genfer-Rot-Kreuz-Abkommen von 1949 thematisiert, die noch unter dem Eindruck des Weltkrieges entstanden sind und einen Versuch darstellen, die völkerrechtlichen Lücken zu schließen und die Leiden der am Krieg beteiligten Personen zu lindern. Der fünfte Abschnitt, die Schlussbetrachtung, ist ein Resümee der ganzen Arbeit. |
