There are two main uses of the emblems: the "protective use" and the "indicative use".

Firstly, the emblems are a visible sign in armed conflict of the protection given to the medical services, equipment and buildings of the armed forces under international law.

That protection extends to certain humanitarian organizations working alongside the military to relieve the suffering of the wounded, prisoners and civilians caught up in the conflict.

This first use is usually referred to as "protective use.

Sometimes in some cases the distinctive emblem is misused, so that the intended purpose of securing protection for that emblem or its bearers or even places, sites and things on which this emblem is placed dose not materialize, but this dose not mean standing Idly by in front of these transgressions, as measures and measures must be taken Necessary to prevent their occurrence, and even suppress these violations after their occurrence, as indicated by many international agreements and national and internal legislation.
