Schindler and Toman also fail to note the exceptions taken by the United States to portions of this resolution; 67 AJIL 122–25 (1973).
8 However, other provisions of Additional Protocol I were explicitly not designed to affect the law of naval warfare. For example, the “existing generally recognized rules of international law applicable to espionage or to the use of flags in the conduct of armed conflict at sea” are not affected by Article 37(1)(d) regarding perfidy or Article 39 regarding emblems of nationality. Also the provisions of part IV providing general protection against effects of hostilities for the civilian population apply to “all attacks from the sea or from the air against objectives on land but do not otherwise affect the rules of international law applicable to armed conflict at sea or in the air”; Additional Protocol I, Art. 49(3).
