Abstract

The specific focus of this Article is the way in which civilians interact with modern warfare, namely emerging technological weapons. New weapons that change the way war is carried out are being produced, thus creating a need to change the rules of war themselves. The civilians who interact with these weapons from the time they are designed until the time they are used in an armed conflict can be considered to be participating in hostilities. However, is the connection direct enough to make them direct participators in the hostilities, thus becoming targetable civilians?
