intentionally kill innocent civilians in war

essay question, ‘ Is it ever morally permissible to intentionally kill innocent civilians in war? If so, under what conditions?’.

perhaps the most important norm within Jus in bello is that of ‘non-combatant immunity’: innocent civilians within warring states should not be intentionally attacked. However, this norm raises a number of questions. What if the death of civilians are foreseeable, but unintentional? Does non combatant immunity still hold even in a so called ‘supreme emergency’? And doesn’t noncombatant immunity – like the other restrictive norms of jus in bello- privilege powerful belligerents?
