(Institute for Contemporary Affairs/Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt. Col. Amos Guiora, Commander of the IDF School of Military Law - •The IDF has decided to teach commanders about international law in order to enable them to more effectively carry out their missions. •The IDF has developed a code of conduct that is a combination of international law, Israeli law, and the IDF's own traditional ethical code - ruach tzahal, "the spirit of the IDF." • The IDF has developed educational computer software simulations. In one scenario, a 19-year-old soldier has been given intelligence information on a terrorist bomber traveling in an ambulance. An ambulance arrives at his checkpoint with a seemingly pregnant woman. If he lets in the terrorist, innocent civilians will be hurt. But if he delays the wrong ambulance, he endangers the woman and her child. • The IDF is teaching very complicated issues and presenting complex dilemmas in a user-friendly fashion to help its soldiers better understand the issues they must deal with on a daily basis. 2003-11-19 00:00:00Full Article
