Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict
Open Letter to the Member States of the U.N. General Assembly, on behalf of the IASC Principals

Attacks that kill or injure civilians, including humanitarian and health-care personnel, are devastatingly common. Yet despite widespread condemnation, serious violations of the rules of war too often go unpunished.
