page 531 note 10 CUES Agreement, supra note 2, §1.4.1 (“WPNS navies that choose to adopt CUES for naval cooperation do so on a voluntary and non-binding basis.”); see also id., §1.1.1 (“The document is not legally binding; rather it’s a coordinated means of communication to maximise safety at sea.”).

page 531 note 11 Although CUES does not specify an area of application, it explicitly “does not supersede... rules applicable under international agreements or treaties or international law.” Id., §1.5.2; see also WPNS Workshop Minutes, supra note 1, para. 57 (discussing the limitations on territorial applicability imposed by CUES Agreement §1.5.2). Officials have therefore interpreted it to apply in exclusive economic zones (EEZs) and on the high seas, but not in territorial waters, since the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea preserves the right of member nations to regulate the activity of all foreign ships entering their territorial sea and limit their actions to “innocent passage.” see United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Art. 21, opened for signature Dec. 10, 1982, 1833 UNTS 397; see also Ministry of National Defense of the People’s Republic of China Press Release, Senior Chinese Navy Official Hails 14th WPNS’Achievements (Apr. 25, 2014), at http://eng.mod.gov.cn/TopNews/2014-04/25/content_4505570.htm (citing remarks by PLAN Deputy Commander Ding Yiping, warning that “it is wrong...to...hamper China from protecting its legal rights in the East China Sea and the South China Sea by mistakenly reading the regulations”).

page 548 note 15 On January 10, 2012, for example, President Barack Obama submitted a certification regarding U.S. participation in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, certifying that “members of the U.S. Armed Forces participating in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan are without risk of criminal prosecution or other assertion of jurisdiction by the International Criminal Court (ICC) because the Republic of South Sudan is not a party to the ICC and has not invoked the jurisdiction of the ICC pursuant to Article 12 of the Rome Statute.” 77 Fed. Reg. 3371 (Jan. 24, 2012).

page 550 note 3 The statutory-authorization analysis was critical to the memorandum’s central conclusion that U.S. forces would not expose themselves to federal criminal liability for killing al-Awlaki. Id. at 12 (arguing that, for example, the criminal prohibition on “[f]oreign murder of United States nationals” is subject to a “public authority justification, which can render lethal action carried out by a governmental official lawful in some circumstances”); see also id. at 20 (summarizing the memorandum’s conclusion that “a public authority justification... would be available because the operation would constitute the ‘lawful conduct of war’—a well established variant of the public authority justification”).
