“…The civilian casualties that are acknowledged are accounted for by the principle of double effect. The principle of double effect is a principle that recognizes the moral acceptability of hitting a civilian target when the goal is a military target and the civilian damage is not disproportionate to the military importance of the target (Hare and Joynt 1982). The principle of double effect marginalizes the human suffering in collateral damage by allowing belligerents who intend to hit a military target to injure civilians knowingly in the process, so long as the principle of proportionality is fulfilled.…”

The discipline of international relations has had different reactions to the increased salience of gender advocacy in international politics; some have reacted by asking feminist questions about IR, while others have encouraged the study of gender as a variable disengaged from feminist advocacy. This article takes up this debate simultaneously with current debate on gender and the noncombatant immunity principle. Through a causal analysis of the ineffectiveness of the immunity principle, it argues that feminism is an indispensable empirical and theoretical tool for the study of gender in global politics. Concurrently, it demonstrates that gender stereotypes in the immunity principle are a natural part of the gendered just war narrative, rather than a deviation from normal immunity advocacy. It concludes by arguing that the gendered immunity principle fails to afford any civilians protection, and by suggesting a more effective, feminist reformulation based on empathy.
