In Chapter 4 of Volume 27, @mglattimer.bsky.social argues that Israel’s use of criminal law standards, rather than IHL's reasonable military commander test, to determine violations of the law of targeting in Gaza poses risks to civilians and IHL's integrity.

Some say it is legal to attack energy infrastructure because it is a ‘dual-use object’. But such strikes may make commanders liable under the law on dual-purpose attacks. My latest for @articlesofwar.bsky.social with research from @yearbookofihl.bsky.social lieber.westpoint.edu/dual-use-obj...

Dual-Use Objects and Dual-Purpose Attacks - Lieber Institute West Point
Attacks against dual-use objects could also be analysed under the more developed law on dual-purpose attacks.
