Military Necessity: actions not forbidden

by law and indispensable for the submission
of the enemy.
• Humanity : minimization of incidental
injury, collateral damage, and suffering. Proportionality : suffering must not be disproportionate to the direct and concrete military advantage gained.
• Discrimination: attacks must be directed against a specific, military target.
