The Current Situation in Israel and International Humanitarian Law
The current situation in Israel is an example of an a-symmetric conflict: a terror organisation (HAMAS) wages war against a democratic state (Israel).
Prof. Geoffrey Corn (USA) will tell what International Humanitarian Law says about this.
Before the next war: Israel and the US should articulate a policy on proportionality
Proportionality… It is not the number of causalities that determines proportionality but the necessity of the military action balanced against the potential civilian loss.
