Progressive United States lawmakers have put forward legislation to prevent civilian harm during US military operations and increase transparency around such incidents, stressing that the death of innocent people should not be inevitable in war.Members of the House of Representatives and Senate on Thursday introduced the two bills, dubbed the Department of Defense Civilian Harm Transparency Act and the Protection of Civilians in Military Operations Act.The bills would require the Pentagon to improve investigations into civilian deaths, establish a database for such probes and create a centre to advise the US government on “best practices for preventing, mitigating, responding to civilian harm”.
