International law, specifically International Humanitarian Law (IHL), strictly prohibits the deliberate killing of civilians by belligerents, making it a war crime, and requires constant distinction between civilians and combatants. While incidental civilian deaths during attacks on legitimate military targets are sometimes unavoidable, they must be proportionate to the military advantage, and indiscriminate attacks or those causing excessive civilian harm are forbidden. Key principles include distinction, proportionality, and precaution, all aiming to protect civilians and non-combatants from direct targeting, torture, or murder.
