Original Note:
Scott Ritter is wrong on the facts: Civilians lose their immunity from direct attack when, and only so long as, they directly participate in hostilities The use of protected persons (including civilians or POWs) as human shields constitutes a war crime https://www.justsecurity.org/35263/human-shields-ihl-legal-framework/
