* In international law, a distinction is made between declared armed conflict (for which the term ‘war’ is generally reserved) and non-declared armed conflict; and also between international armed conflict and non-international armed conflict.

† The environment was considered at this meeting to fall into one of three categories: that belonging to the states involved in an armed conflict; that belonging to neutral states (third parties); and that in domains beyond any national jurisdiction (e.g. the high seas). Whether the environment per se enjoys legal protection was not at issue at this meeting.
