Practice Relating to Rule 145. Reprisals
Chad’s Instructor’s Manual (2006) requires soldiers to “refrain from any act of vengeance”.
Chad’s Instructor’s Manual (2006) states:
As reprisals violate the law of war in response to a breach of that law committed by the enemy, they must be the last resort in order to restore respect for the law of war. Consequently, to carry out reprisals, a formal prior warning must be issued.
Chad’s Instructor’s Manual (2006) states that any reprisal action “must be in keeping with the breach of the law committed by the enemy”.
Chad’s Instructor’s Manual (2006) states that any reprisal action “shall cease when its objective has been achieved”.
