From ancient warfare to contemporary conflict, urban sieges have caused unspeakable civilian suffering. In today's post, Abby outlines the relevant #IHL, and how policymakers and militaries need to better mitigate civilian harm caused by sieges. shorturl.at/XkeTJ

Outstanding piece by Abby, which explores the devastating effects of sieges on civilian populations, and makes it clear that, without understanding those effects, any interpretation of IHL for operational purposes would be incomplete. blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy…

I'm a proponent of isolating an urban objective; but I firmly believe that both sides must follow the Law of Armed Conflict & do everything possible to mitigate civilian harm during that isolation. Abby's lengthy, well-written article discusses why: blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy…

Great work here on urban warfare and sieges Abby. blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy…

Given the huge civilian harm caused by siege, there is surprisingly little literature to help us understand the logic & limits of the tactic. So this new ICRC blog by Abby is a welcome contribution blogs.icrc.org/law-and-policy…
