Material connected with civilians.
Terrorism is commonly condemned while violence by states is often described as security, defence or military action. The labels differ, but moral judgement requires more than asking who acted.
Economic sanctions are often presented as a peaceful response to aggression or repression. Their morality depends upon who is harmed, whether the objective is achievable and whether less damaging alternatives exist.
Civilian deaths are often described as accidental or unavoidable. Yet responsibility in war may extend beyond the individual who directly caused the death to commanders, governments and those who created or ignored foreseeable risks.
