• apply the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution to concrete cases, including the protection of medical personnel, facilities and aid workers;
• distinguish the humanitarian principles (humanity, neutrality, impartiality, independence) and assess how they shape operational decisions and humanitarian negotiations;
