I wouldn't expect it to apply more strongly during peace than during war but conducting military or military intelligence operations under the symbols of humanitarian/Aid organizations has such vast externalities.

I'd count handing out food/medical supplies/vaccines, not just medical work. Basically military actions under the guise of amelioration of suffering.
