Human rights violations in armed conflict against community members, displaced persons, and health workers include combatants' uses of threats and coercion, attacks on health facilities, and abuses against civilians. Traditional clinical and public health ethical obligations are not sufficient to guide practice in those spaces.

It also proposes some solutions to these challenges
