520 _aThe use of white phosphorous munitions in the Israeli bombing of Gaza has brought back attention to its contentious and complicated use and implications within the framework of international conventions. The article underscores the need for evaluating the humanitarian costs both in human and ecological terms associated with the use of white phosphorous munitions. It stresses the revision of the normative framework to prohibit its use by states. The moral opprobrium over white phosphorous needs to be strengthened with reference to the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law. – Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/26-27/commentary/illicit-incendiaries-and-international.html
