Editing Civilian casualty (section)

===Refugees===
The [[laws of war]] have changed over the course of history, and international protocols like the [[Fourth Geneva Convention]] explicitly provide legal protections to protected civilians in territories belonging to or [[military occupation|occupied]] by a [[belligerent]] party during and after an international armed conflict. The 1951 [[Refugee Convention]] and the 1967 [[Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees]] has also given protection to people who have a well founded fear of persecution.

Some researchers{{weasel words inline|date=September 2015|reason=UNDUE? ratio needed or attribution if the numbers are very small}} have included [[refugees]] and [[internally displaced persons]] in their definition of "civilian casualty".<ref>Ahlstrom, C. and K.-A.
