Congress Can Act Now on U.S. DoD Inspector’s Report Revealing Violations of Civilian Harm Policy and Law
The U.S. Department of Defense is violating its civilian harm mitigation policy and federal law, according to a Pentagon Inspector General report. The report highlights a decline in capacity to address civilian harm amid expanded military operations in regions like the Caribbean, eastern Pacific, Venezuela, Somalia, and Iran, where nearly 200 civilians were killed in unlawful boat strikes and over 1,700 in Iran. Congress is urged to act in the FY2027 defense bills to compel reforms.
