Abstract

This article argues that medical personnel of armed forces occupy a <jats:italic>‘peace role’</jats:italic>, which continues and dominates their professional ethos during armed conflict. The specific role and its associated legal and ethical obligations are elaborated, and on that basis arguments are provided why and how the work of military healthcare providers is interpreted as a continuation of peace during war.
