Original Note:
NNN. The OP does not claim that persons lose their status as civilians because they are used as human shields. On the other hand, a civilian object (“civilian area or compound”) does lose its civilian protection under international law due to its military use. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/api-1977/article-52?activeTab=undefined https://digital-commons.usnwc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1361&context=ils
