Summary

International humanitarian law provides special protection in armed conflict to particular categories of objects, granting them additional layers of protection and providing for some restriction on their use for military purposes. This chapter explores how animals could benefit from such special protection under two headings. First, it analyses whether and with which consequences animals could be safeguarded as cultural property. Second, the chapter addresses the protection of animals as objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population. It concludes with some recommendations on how the category of specially protected objects could be dynamically used to enhance the protection of animals against the effects of warfare.
