  • Summary

    The focus of this chapter is on non-human targets, i.e. objects/goods. It begins by reviewing the general definition of a military objective enshrined in Article 52(2) of the First Additional Protocol to the Geneva Conventions of 1949. Next, to illustrate how the general definition of military objective translates into practice, it reviews the categories of objects typically classified as such, and examines whether their situation truly is the same in international and non-international armed conflict. In the final part of the chapter, the focus is on objects that are generally classified as civilian and thus protected. The key purpose in this part is to identify the exceptions from the prohibition of targeting these objects.
