- Lessons in war 2015 : military use of schools and universities during armed conflict, 2015, via WWW, viewed July 12, 2017:p. 6 ("Schools and universities should be sanctuaries of learning where young minds can feel safe to inquire, explore, reflect, yearn, and develop to their fullest potential. All this is threatened when armed forces convert schools into part of the battlefield and use institutions dedicated to education for military purposes instead") p. 7 (military use of schools remains a constant feature of war)
- Wikipedia, July 12, 2017:Military Use of Schools (Military Use of Schools is a term used to refer to the various activities that national armed forces and non-state armed groups carry out in and around schools, universities, and other education facilities, in support of their military effort; examples of this include using a school or a university as barracks or bases, for offensive or defensive deployments, for storage of weapons or ammunition, for military training of soldiers, as observation posts, and as a detention facility; the document Guidelines for Protecting Schools and Universities from Military Use during Armed Conflict was developed by an international team of experts between 2012 and 2014 and released in December 2014)
- Guidelines for protecting schools and universities from military use during armed conflict, via WWW, viewed July 12, 2017(Parties to armed conflict are urged not to use schools and universities for any purpose in support of their military effort; while it is acknowledged that certain uses would not be contrary to the law of armed conflict, all parties should endeavour to avoid impinging on students' safety and education; 1. functioning schools and universities should not be used by fighting forces; 2. schools and universities that have been abandoned or evacuated because of armed conflict should not be used by fighting forces or parties to armed conflict; 3. Schools and universities must never be destroyed as a measure intended to deprive the opposing parties to the armed conflict of the ability to use them in the future; 4. parties to armed conflict should consider all feasible alternative measures before attacking [schools], including, unless circumstances do not permit, warning the enemy in advance that an attack will be forthcomingunless it ceases its use; 5. The fighting forces of parties to armed conflict should not be employed to provide security for schools and universities)
