Abstract
Some worrying developments appear to be taking place regarding the self-image of military medical personnel. My observations from training programs on International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and military medical ethics indicate that participating military doctors and medics often struggle with a lack of legal clarity as well as ethical concerns during their missions and training. So in this article I will elaborate on the rights and obligations of military doctors and medics in the law of war, and highlight the legal problems that arise during deployments.
