15 In a footnote to this statement, the Commission noted with appreciation the International Committee of the Red Cross’s customary international humanitarian law study, but it did not endorse the study’s conclusion that a prohibition broader than the one expressed in Article 54(2) of Additional Protocol I had become accepted as part of customary international law. See Western Front & Aerial Bombardment Award, para. 105 n.23. The Commission also observed that Articles 48, 51, 52, 57, and 58 of Additional Protocol I expressed customary international humanitarian law. Id., disposition, para. 2(a).

When in doubt, caution is called for.”).

19 See, e.g., Dinstein, supra note 16, at 86 (observing that the “advantage gained must be military and not, say, purely political (ergo, ‘forcing a change in the negotiating attitudes’ of the adverse Party cannot be deemed a proper military advantage)” (footnotes omitted)).
