<p>contemporary armed conflicts, particularly in geopolitically sensitive regions, pose significant ethical challenges to public health and humanitarian systems amid advancements in military technology. Recent experiences, notably the Gaza war, illustrate that ethics committees lacking structural independence, transparency, and genuine commitment to human dignity may fail to protect civilian rights and risk becoming politicized entities. This letter to the editor underscores the critical need to strengthen the role of ethics committees in war crisis management by ensuring their structural independence, establishing transparent oversight frameworks, developing international guidelines for emerging military technologies, and fostering enhanced international cooperation. Strengthening these committees’ capacities can contribute to mitigating human suffering, facilitating sustainable post-war reconstruction, and rebuilding public trust</p>
