CIVIC ENCOURAGES PARTIES INVOLVED IN CONFLICT TO ADOPT TOOLS, POLICIES, AND PRACTICES THAT HELP THEM IMPLEMENT THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND TO GO ABOVE AND BEYOND WHAT IS LEGALLY REQUIRED BY IHL, THUS RAISING THE LEVEL OF PROTECTION AFFORDED TO CIVILIANS BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER CONFLICT. WHERE PREVENTION FAILS, HARM MUST BE APPROPRIATELY ADDRESSED THROUGH THE MAKING OF AMENDS OR PROVISION OF POST-HARM ASSISTANCE.
