Distinction is a principle under international humanitarian law governing the legal use of force in an armed conflict, whereby belligerents must distinguish between combatants and noncombatants (civilians). Combatant in this instance means persons entitled to directly participate in hostilities and thus are not afforded immunity from being directly targeted in situations of armed conflict. Civilian in this instance means civilians who are non-combatants. The definition of "civilian" under international humanitarian law is by no means settled, as further clarity and explanation is needed in regards to determining precisely when, how and for how long a civilian loses his or her protection from targeting.

  • التمييز هو أحد المبادئ بموجب القانون الدولي الإنساني وينظم هذا المبدأ الاستخدام القانوني للقوة في النزاع المسلح، حيث يتعين على المتنازعين التمييز فيما بين المقاتلين والمدنيين. ويعد التمييز والتناسب عاملين هامين في تقييم الضرورة العسكرية حيث إن الضرر الذي يلحق بالمدنيين أو ممتلكاتهم يجب أن يكون تناسبيًا وغير مفرط فيما يتعلق بالميزة العسكرية الملموسة والمباشرة المتوقعة من الهجوم على أحد الأهداف العسكرية.

  • Distinction is a principle under international humanitarian law governing the legal use of force in an armed conflict, whereby belligerents must distinguish between combatants and noncombatants (civilians). Combatant in this instance means persons entitled to directly participate in hostilities and thus are not afforded immunity from being directly targeted in situations of armed conflict. Civilian in this instance means civilians who are non-combatants. The definition of "civilian" under international humanitarian law is by no means settled, as further clarity and explanation is needed in regards to determining precisely when, how and for how long a civilian loses his or her protection from targeting. Article 51.3 of Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions explains that "Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this section, unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities". Distinction and proportionality are important factors in assessing military necessity in that the harm caused to civilians or civilian property must be proportional and not "excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated" by an attack on a military objective.

  • La distinction est un principe de droit international humanitaire qui régit l'usage légitime de la force lors d'un conflit armé ; selon ce principe, les belligérants doivent opérer une distinction entre les combattants et les civils. La distinction et la proportionnalité constituent deux facteurs importants pour évaluer la nécessité militaire car les torts causés aux civils, ou à leurs biens, doivent être proportionnés et ne doivent pas être « excessifs par rapport à l’ensemble de l’avantage militaire concret et direct attendu » par une attaque sur un objectif militaire.

  • Distinktionsprincipen är en folkrättslig princip som innebär att krigförande parter måste skilja mellan militära mål (inklusive kombattanter) visavi civil egendom och icke stridande personer. Den innebär också att angrepp bara får riktas mot militära mål. Distinktionsprincipen har ett nära samband med proportionalitetsprincipen. Distinktionsprincipen har bland annat stöd i tilläggsprotokoll I och II till Genèvekonventionerna. (sv)
