Parties to armed conflicts are not free to pursue victory at any cost, especially when it endangers civilians.

In armed conflicts, no matter when, no matter who says the opposite, civilians must be protected and respected. Without excuses.

Under international humanitarian law, every party to a conflict must follow this essential rule.
