Original Note:
Article 51 prohibits the use of human shields - it explicitly does not strip protected status from civillians because they are used as human shields (article 57). Hamas has repeatedly been criticised for it's illegal use of human shields by the UN. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/api-1977/article-57 https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/sg/speeches/2023-11-06/secretary-generals-press-conference-the-middle-east
