Military legal advisers today play a key role during various military operations, including aerial targeting in urban areas, and State militaries will likely increasingly rely on them as warfare becomes more urbanized. By providing legal advice to commanders on a range of issues, military lawyers help to ‘operationalize’ international humanitarian law (IHL), transforming the rules of war into realities on the ground. But what does legal advice during aerial targeting look like and what is really at stake?
In this latest post in the urban warfare special series, author of The War Lawyers and Lecturer in Political Geography at Newcastle University Dr. Craig Jones explains how the risk to civilians during aerial targeting is significant even when legal advisers are ‘in the loop’, and that good faith interpretations of IHL rules on the conduct of hostilities must be applied in order to protect civilians during military operations in urban areas. |
