LAW OF WAR Manual
pg 737
This manual uses the terms “military occupation,” “ belligerent occupation,” and “occupation” to refer to situations governed by the law of belligerent occupation. 11.1.1.2Occupying Power, Occupant, and Occupying State. Treaties or other legal documents may refer to the State conducting the occupation as the “Occupying Power,” “Occupying State,” or “occupant.” This manual uses the term “Occupying Power” to refer to a State conducting an occupation. In some cases, multiple States may conduct an occupation together, and each State may be considered an Occupying Power.7Military Occupation and Bodies of International Law. 11.1.211.1.2.1Military Occupation and Other Law of War Rules. In general, the law of war rules that are not specific to the occupation of enemy territory continue to apply to situations that are addressed by those rules that may arise during occupation. For example, the rules for the conduct of hostilities and the humane treatment of detainees apply also to combat operations anddetention operations, respectively, during occupation. However, the fact of occupation triggers the application of additional rules specific to occupation.811.1.2.2Occupation and the Hague IV Regulations. Articles 42 through 56 of the Hague IV Regulations address military occupation.When the GC and the Hague IV Regulations are both applicable, the provisions of the GC regarding occupation supplement the provisions of the Hague IV Regulations regarding occupation.9insurrection or invasion, or of civil or foreign war, within districts or localities where ordinary law no longer adequately secures public safety and private rights.”).6 LIEBER CODE art. 1 (“A place, district, or country occupied by an enemy stands, in consequence of the occupation, under the Martial Law of the invading or occupying army, whether any proclamation declaring Martial Law, or any public warning to the inhabitants, has been issued or not.

The presence of a hostile army proclaims its Martial Law.”).7For example, Supplemental Brief of the United States, Apr. 22, 2005, United States of America ex rel. DR, Inc. v.
