Requisitions

Japanese: 徴発 - ちょうはつ（英語表記）requisitions

Under international law in wartime, requisition refers to the compulsory collection by an occupying force of goods from the inhabitants or towns of an occupied territory for the military needs of the occupying army. According to the "Regulations Concerning the Laws and Customs of War on Land" (1907), requisitions are limited to food, bedding, alcohol, and other necessities of the occupying army, and the extent of requisitions must be in accordance with the financial resources of the occupied territory. The procedure for requisitions is carried out with the permission of the commander of the occupied territory. Requisitions must be paid in cash as soon as possible, or a receipt must be issued and the payment made as soon as possible. In naval warfare, undefended ports, cities, villages, etc. are allowed to requisition military goods to meet the immediate needs of the navy, and if they do not comply, they can be bombarded. The extent and procedures for requisitions are almost the same as in land warfare.

戦時国際法上，占領者が占領地の住民または市町村から占領軍の軍事的必要のために物品を強制的に徴収することをいう。「陸戦ノ法規慣例ニ関スル規則」 (1907) によれば，徴発は食品，寝具，酒類など占領軍の必要品に限られ，その程度は占領地域の資力に応じたものでなければならない。徴発の手続は占領地の指揮官の許可によってなされる。徴発にはできるかぎり即金で代金を支払うことを要し，さもなくば領取書を交付して，できるかぎりすみやかに代金を支払わなければならない。海戦においても無防備の港，都市，村落などに対して，海軍の目前の需要を満たすために軍需品の徴発が認められ，これに応じないときには砲撃することができる。その徴発の程度および手続はほぼ陸戦の場合と同様である。
