Abstract:
The present chapter first discusses dynamic diligence and the right relationship under international humanitarian law (IHL) between the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack. Then, it discusses the acute tension between the United States Department of Defense Manual's doctrinal statements and its examples from practice. Finally, this chapter discusses the methodological flaws with the manual's effort to support its doctrinal assertions.
