ANSWERS (1)
> Shooting enemy soldiers during a conflict – legal
> Shooting enemy soldiers that have surrendered – Illegal (humane treatment and distinction)
> Shelling a hospital – Illegal (distinction)
> Shelling a hospital from which snipers are killing your soldiers – (proportionality) Dependent on circumstances: a hospital loses its protected status if used to commit acts harmful to the enemy, but an attack must be proportionate, i.e. the losses amongst protected people (the patients) must not be excessive compared to the importance of the military gain. The hospital must not be shelled if the sniper can be stopped with less destructive weapons. A warning must be given if possible.
