SROE describes self-defense as an extension on unit self defense

The SROE, or standard regulations of engagement, describes military or national defense as an extension and protection of unit-based selfdefense. The SROE was created to guide commanders in exercising national self defense outside of armed conflict. However, the term national self-defense is often confused with individual self-defense under criminal laws. This change coincided with the US entering several non-international armed conflicts, leaving the US military with an unclear and often conflicting self-defense landscape.

A threat is defined as a person who demonstrates hostile intent. To trigger self-defense, a threat doesn't have to be immediate. Unlike criminal law, the SROE uses common definitions for national, unit, and individual self-defense. The SROE also identifies a triggering threat as a hostile action or demonstration of hostile intention.

ICRC Commentary on the Additional Protocols mentions self defense

According to the ICRC Commentary, the Additional Protocol, any hostilities participant must provide humane treatment to all civilians held in its custody. This includes the treatment of the wounded. This article bans the use force against civilians. It also makes hostages and prisoners-of-war subject to stringent standards. Moreover, it requires that all attacks on civilians must be proportionate, meaning that collateral damage and incidental injury must not outweigh the expected concrete and direct military benefit. Furthermore, targets must be reasonable in assuming civilian safety and security.

Articles of the Additional Protocols are civilian-protection provisions that have a wider meaning. These provisions include structures such as bridges. Some of these structures can be civilly protected, while others might not. A civilian-protected structure may be considered a civilian defense measure, despite not being mentioned in the ICRC Commentary to Additional Protocols.

ICRC Commentary

An Interpretive Guidance has been released by the ICRC about military self defence. It will determine the nature of a border-crossing conflict based on whether the territorial states "consents" or not to the use and abuse of force. This Commentary exposes an error. It is not legally binding. Only state practices and agreements can make a law binding. The ICRC and its specialists have made Interpretive Guidance possible. It's a normative paradigm that explains how to approach such situations.

Although initially the ICRC believed that an armed assault on civilians within a state's territory did not constitute an act or war, the Commentary has changed its mind and now states that the 1958 interpretation is too restrictive. Although the IAC does NOT require that a country intervene in conflict, it does permit it to use military force against civilians. But, the ICRC believes there is an armed conflict when one country uses force against another. That means that armed force may be necessary to protect civilians.
