论清季中法战争所涉之战争法问题

On Law of War Issues Concerned in Sino-French War in Qing Dynasty

清季中法战争,是发生在处于"同光中兴"时期的中国与作为西方次强的法国之间的正面较量。战火从越南北部燃烧至中国东南沿海。李鸿章、左宗棠、张之洞等清朝政治菁英表现出较强的战争法意识,对中立法和国际人道主义法的运用比较娴熟。虽然近代国际法具有时代局限性和适用上的不平等性,但清政府的"公法外交"在艰难苦恨中推展,且略有斩获。

Sino-French War in Qing dynasty was a front contest between China and French:China was then governed by Tongzhi and Guangxu in which capitalism was sprouted,and French was the second strongest country in western societies.The war started from the north part of Vietnam and spread alongside the southeast seaside of China.The political elites in Qing dynasty at that time such as Li Hongzhang,Zuo zongtang and Zhang zhidong,showed strong awareness of law of war,and can use skillfully the law of neutrality and international humanitarian law.Although modern international laws had time limitations and the application of inequality,Qing government’s diploma of "public laws" developed in great difficulties and had slight achievement.
