Weapon States

English to French Other International Org/Dev/Coop
Extract :

The basic format of the Rule of Engagement for a specific UN Peace Keeping operation is structured as follows:
• Main Body – This explains the requirement for ROE, the ROE planning process, and instructions for implementing changes in the ROE. Most importantly, it outlines the mandate that specifies the numbered ROE, which should apply to the relevant UNPKO;
• List of Numbered ROE – This list contains the rules of engagement applicable to the specific UNPKO pursuant to its mandate, as outlined in the Security Council resolution(s), as drawn from the United Nations Master List of Numbered ROE. (See Annex B at the end of this lesson.);
• Definitions – To ensure the cohesion of command and control during the use of ROE, a specific set of definitions is provided;
• Supporting Directions and Procedures – This section provides the directions and procedures to be followed by United Nations armed military personnel when undertaking certain duties; and
• ***Weapon States*** – This final part identifies various ***weapon states*** that may be authorized by the FC without recourse to United Nations Headquarters.

Daryo Apr 4, 2013:
Est-ce que cela ne serait pas plutôt ... "states of readiness" (for more or for less immediate use?)
Muriel Garcia Apr 4, 2013:
Est-ce que cela ne serait pas plutôt "weapon status"?

Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : au sens large oui, si "utiliser" une arme inclut s'en servir comme moyen de dissuasion, mais je crois que ici "utiliser" une arme veut dire "tirer".

il est clair d'après les sources que j'ai trouvée que ce n'est pas le cas : "weapon states" = which weapons can be carried, and under what conditions (with/without ammo, etc.)

usage de la force

Declined
ou bien recours à la force.
Le FC (Force Commander) peut autoriser les conditions dans lesquelles l’usage de la force peut être employé. La légitime défense en était auparavant la seule raison autorisée dans le cadre des grands principes d’intervention des Nations Unies, mais la protection des populations civiles, et désormais la défense du mandat peuvent aussi justifier cette intervention.
je propose donc de traduire weapons par force au sens de force armée, comme expliqué dans l’exemple plus bas.
Example sentence:

Par extension, la façon dont l’ONU traite du recours à la force définit, par bien des aspects, la nature même de cette Organisation5. Nous entendrons ici par « force » la force armée, c’est-à-dire l’utilisation

merci Gilou
disagree Daryo : that's the translation for "use of force" or at a stretch for "rules of engagement" - related to but not the same as "weapon states"

"état" (niveau, ou degré, de préparation au tir) des armes

Declined
"weapon states" are different levels of "readiness to fire" - to take the example of small arms, it seems pretty obvious that it takes less time to be ready to fire when the round is the chamber and the safety is off than when the arm is empty and the ammunition is under lock (and few variants in-between)

This example is about handguns, but the same principles apply to other weapons (see http://www.forsvarsmakten.se/upload/Forband/Centra/Forsvaret...

"Dans quel "état" (niveau, ou degré, de préparation au tir) peut se trouver un pistolet ? Il y a quatre cas de figures possibles (les "conditions", pour les tireurs ..."
