>Civilians are helpless in the face of air attack, making the limitation of bombing especially important morally. This chapter initiates a series on limits on bombing. NATO’s bombing of Serbia was a new hybrid type of bombing that attempted to cause civilian misery without targeting civilians directly but instead targeting dual-use infrastructure that can be argued to constitute military objectives but also performs vital functions for civilians. The legal issue is whether Article 52:2 of *1977 Geneva Protocol I* must be interpreted so as to make all dual-use infrastructure permissible to attack. A moral logic appealing to basic rights would require an interpretation excluding infrastructure performing indispensable civilian functions.
