The law is made to help in solving problems that appear in interpersonal relations and burden their existence, cooperation, and future. For different sort of problems, different law branches are engaged. The problem of armed conflicts, warfare and suffering follow humankind and civilization from ancient human communities. It seems impossible the living without conflicts, and more discouraging thing, the future is not spa-red from similar happenings. Innocent people suffer in armed conflicts no matter if there is local or regional, international conflict. Many people are recorded as missing persons. Years have passed, no results are available in order of finding the truth, finding bodies; suffering of relatives to alleviate. International law and the international judiciary must give answer, protection, and lesson. The truth is important for the unjustified suffering of the victims, for reconciliation which directs the future.

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former? In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
