Ang ating mga kasundaluhan ay mahigpit na sumusunod sa International Humanitarian Law (IHL) /Geneva Convention/Law of Armed Conflict na naglalayong maproteksyonan ang mga sibiyan, kasama na rito ang mga walang kakayahan lumaban gaya ng mga sugatan, maging kalaban man ito. Ang tawag dito ay principle of distinction.
Saklaw ng IHL ang mga NPA, kung kayat dinidisiplina at pinagmumulta ng CPP ang mga lider nilang napapatunayang lumapastangan sa IHL.
Sa mga nabangit na lugar, mayroong mga conflict dahil presensya ng mga NPA kung kayat IHL na masusunod na bahagi rin naman ng ating batas na R.A. 9851.
