For those who don't know, this means the International Red Cross sees the Syria conflict, all of it, as a International incident, with any prisoners taken as prisoners of war, with all the humane privileges that entitles.
Under international humanitarian law, whether a conflict is internal or international, civilians must be spared and medical facilities protected. Warring parties must observe the key principles of precaution and proportionality and distinguish between combatants and civilians.
All I can add is, this is a big deal. And this conflict could end up effecting each and everyone of us on here. I'm not happy it happened, but I recognize that it was necessary. I just hope it ends what was necessary.
