Today’s armed conflicts are not won by military means alone, and experience has clearly shown that widespread harm to civilians undermines the political goals that the use of military force was intended to achieve.

The use of drones to carry out attacks – often operated by personnel situated far away from the strike site, with more or less accurate information regarding the possibility of the presence of civilians in the vicinity of the attack, has also caused the loss of a great number of civilian lives.

For instance, we have seen that several categories of possible targets – in particular so-called “dual use” facilities (facilities used both for military and civilian purposes) were considered legitimate military targets in 1999 were not approved as such in 2011, as the potential for civilian casualties would be higher for such targets.
