| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this project is to establish international legal theory on termination of armed conflict, i.e., when and how international armed conflict, occurred after WWII, was terminated. State practice after WWII suggests that international armed conflict is terminated by armistice agreement (AA). However, under the traditional international legal theory, the legal function of AA had been understood as mere "suspension" of hostilities and not "termination" of war.
In this project, according to much documents collected at UK National Archives and UN Archive, it was clarified that the belligerent states and the third parties, such as the United Nations, recognize that resumption of hostilities after the conclusion of AA is strictly prohibited by international law as well as by Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations in concrete cases. This results reflected in my doctorate thesis submitted to Sophia University.
