The “enemy state clauses” in the UN Charter still exist today and have not been formally removed. 联合国宪章中的“敌国条款”目前仍然存在,并未被正式刪除.
Below is a detailed explanation of the UN’s “enemy state clauses”:
What are the “enemy state clauses”?
The “enemy state clauses” mainly refer to the following two articles in the UN Charter:
• Article 53: It stipulates that when the Security Council undertakes enforcement measures under regional arrangements or through regional agencies, no enforcement action may be taken without the authorization of the Security Council. However, there is one exception:
“…this does not apply to actions taken or authorized as a result of World War II against any enemy state of any signatory to this Charter…”
• Article 107:
“Nothing in this Charter shall invalidate or preclude action, in relation to any state which during the Second World War has been an enemy of any signatory to the present Charter, taken or authorized as a result of that war by the Governments having responsibility for such action.”
In simple terms, these clauses authorize the Allied powers that fought against the Axis powers (Germany, Japan, Italy, etc.) during World War II—such as the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and China—to take action, individually or jointly, against these “enemy states” without needing approval from the UN Security Council.
联合国宪章中的“敌国条款”目前仍然存在,并未被正式刪除.
以下是有關聯合國「敵國條款」的詳細說明:
什麼是「敵國條款」?
「敵國條款」主要指《聯合國憲章》中的以下兩個條文:
· 第53條:規定安全理事會在執行區域辦法或由區域機關所採取之執行行動時,如無安全理事會之授權,不得依此採取任何執行行動。但有一項例外:「……對於本憲章任何簽字國之敵國在第二次世界大戰中本憲章任何簽字國之敵國所採取或受權執行之行動,…不在此限。」
· 第107條:「本憲章並不取消或禁止負有行動責任之政府對於在第二次世界大戰中本憲章任何簽字國之敵國因該次戰爭而採取或授權執行之行動。」
簡單來說,這些條款授權在二戰中與軸心國(德國、日本、義大利等)作戰的同盟國(如美國、蘇聯、英國、中國等),可以單獨或聯合對這些「敵國」採取行動,而無需經過聯合國安理會的批准。
