Original Note:
International law obliges states to avoid causing excessive or disproportionate civilian casualties. The Fourth Geneva Convention ended the "norm of reciprocity" which allowed states to target enemy states' civilians in retaliation for attacks against a state's own civilians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Geneva_Convention?wprov=sfla1
