==United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials (1990)==
  • Principle 9 – Law enforcement officials shall not use firearms unless strictly unavoidable to protect life.
  • Principle 4 & 5 – Use of force must be proportionate, necessary, and a last resort.

🚫 Violation: “Shoot on sight” or “shoot in the leg” orders clearly breach these principles, especially when used against unarmed or peaceful protesters.
