premise of IHL, confirmed in the introductory sentence of Article 43, that, if necessary, all · functions of government must be provisionally assumed by the occupying power in order to · guarantee normal life for the civilian population.

Article 43 of the Regulations Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, annexed to Hague Convention (II) of 1899 and (IV) of 1907, is the linchpin of the international law of belligerent occupation.

August 30, 2021 - According to Article 43 of the Hague Regulations, 21 as generally interpreted – and notably by the Israeli Supreme Court – an occupying State has the duty to exercise its powers under all circumstances for the benefit of the occupied area and to refrain from taking into consideration its national economic and social interests inasmuch as such interests have no effect on its security or the interest of the local population.

The law of occupation is codified solely with a view to land territory in Hague Convention IV and Geneva Convention IV. It can be argued, however, that the law of occupation can also be applied to the sea.

However, the stated objectives of nation-building and regime change of this occupation cast doubt on whether the Hague Land War Order, in particular Article 43, was irretrievably recoverable.
