International Humanitarian Law Poster

International Humanitarian Law Poster
40 points

The 4 basic rules of International Humanitarian Law are:

1. Attacks must be limited to combatants and military targets.
2. Attacks or weapons which indiscriminately strike civilian and military objects and persons, and which cause excessive injury or suffering are prohibited.
3. Civilians, wounded combatants, and prisoners should be spared, protected and treated humanely.
4. Military and civilian medical personnel and facilities (hospitals, clinics, ambulances, etc.) must be respected and protected and must be granted all available help for the performance of their duties.

It is your job to teach a group of 4th graders what the basic rules of International Humanitarian Law are. Please make a poster in which you cover the following:
A 1-2 sentence explanation of each rule, in 4th grader-friendly language. You might want to write a summary of these on binder paper first.
A slogan for each of those rules, such as “Save the Children” for the specific protection law
Illustrations of at least 2 of the laws
