Allen, Berry and Polmar, War in the Gulf, 137, 140. The 1907 Hague Conventions, the 1949 Geneva Conventions, and the 1977 Protocols state: 'In sieges and bombardments, all necessary measures must be taken to spare, as far as possible, buildings dedicated to… charitable purposes… hospitals, and places where the sick and wounded are collected, providing they are not being used at the time for military purposes (emphasis added). It is the duty of the besieged to indicate the presence of such buildings or places by distinctive and visible signs, which shall be notified to the enemy beforehand.' As the bunker was being used as a military installation at the time, it would be considered a legitimate target. And, as one letter writer noted, 'At least four internationally recognized emblems other than the red cross/red crescent can… be placed on civilian shelters to indicate protected status. Camouflage paint is not one of them.'
