The rest of the world needs to step in and stand up for the law and the human beings these laws are meant to protect. This shouldn't be allowed to get worse. It needs to stop now, HRW’s Nadia Hardman writes.
Removing civilians from harm’s way in advance of an attack is the right thing for warring parties to do if it’s the only way to protect them. But the laws of war stipulate that this can only be done in narrow circumstances as a temporary measure, and civilians should be given a safer location where their humanitarian needs are met, says Nadia Hardman, a researcher at Refugee and Migrant Rights Division of Human Rights Watch.
