Abstract
The principle of consequentiality to limit the damage caused by military operations, requiring that the effects of proportionate means and methods of war be not disproportionate to the military advantage pursued. The main rule of international humanitarian law is the protection of civilians. Civilians and all non-combatants must under no circumstances be attacked and must be spared and protected. Despite this, the reality shows that civilians suffer the most from the consequences of armed violence. However, as an exception to the general rule, the use of force with impact on civilians is permitted if it is directed at a legitimate military target and is proportionate to the overall threat faced. All parties involved in armed conflict are responsible for ensuring that the civilian population is protected
