This book brings into focus the legal status of armed forced on
foreign territory within, inter alia, the context of multi-national
exercises and a variety of so-called crisis management operations.
When it comes to criminal offences committed by military personnel
while abroad it is important to know whether such offences fall
under the criminal jurisdiction of the Sending State or that of the
Host State. The book analyses this question from two different
perspectives, namely traditional public international law and
military operational law. Taking his readership through two hundred
years of international practice the author arrives at the current
practice of laying down the status of forces deployed abroad in
so-called Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs). Having looked at
SOFAs from the two different law perspectives the author proposes
the development of a "Status of Forces Compendium" to serve as a
kind of guideline for future SOFAs. The author's intention in
proposing this idea is to instigate further discussion on the
subject in public international law and criminal law circles and
among armed forces' legal advisors. Joop Voetelink is an Associate
Professor of Military Law at the Netherlands Defence Academy.
