Attachment 4
TARGETING AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
A4.3.1.3. Cancellation or Suspense of Attacks in Case of Mistake . Target intelligence may be found to be faulty before an attack is started or completed. If it is apparent that a given target is not a military objective, or that the target is under the special protection of international law, the attack must be canceled or suspended. An example of such special protection would be a hospital protected under the 1949 Geneva Conventions.
(Geneva)
Convention (IV) relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. Geneva, 12 August 1949.
Art. 11. In no circumstances may hospital and safety zones be the object of attack. They shall be protected and respected at all times by the Parties to the conflict.
