ROGERS here can be no doubt that the political and military plan- ners of the NATO air campaign in the Kosovo conflict of 1999 were determined that it should be carried out strictly Tin accordance with the law of armed conflict. "The targets were exclusively military — every effort was made to avoid collateral damage — planes only fire at targets when we are confident that we can strike accurately — some aircraft in the first operation returned without dropping ordnance. Targets are carefully selected and continuously assessed to avoid collateral damage."1 "Others, and I have said continually this week that our aim is to hit the target and not to cause collateral damage to any sur- rounding areas.
