War crime
A war crime is an act that constitutes a serious violation of the law of war that gives rise to individual criminal responsibility. Examples of war crimes include intentionally killing civilians or prisoners, torture, wantonly destroying property, taking hostages, perfidy, rape, using child soldiers, pillaging, declaring that no quarter will be given, and using weapons that cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering.
The concept of war crimes began to emerge during the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century when the body of customary international law applicable to warfare between sovereign states was codified. Such codification occurred at the national level, such as with the publication of the Lieber Code in the United States, and at the international level with the adoption of the treaties during the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. Moreover, trials in national courts during this period further helped clarify the law. Following the end of World War II, major developments in the law occurred. Numerous trials of Axis war criminals established the Nuremberg principles, such as notion that war crimes constituted crimes defined by international law. Additionally, the Geneva Conventions in 1949 defined new war crimes and established that states could exercise universal jurisdiction over such crimes. In the late 20th century and early 21st century, following the creation of several international courts, additional categories of war crimes applicable to armed conflicts other than those between states, such as civil wars. The United States, Israel and Russia are the only OECD countries that do not accept war crime jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its nationals, since they have not signed the Rome Statute.

‘Netanyahu, a war criminal, is speaking at the UN’
“The United Nations should be ashamed of itself. They’ve let their own staff down.” Writer and activist Ashish Prashar blames the UN for allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak at the General Assembly. He tells TRT World that Netanyahu is a “war criminal who has targeted hundreds of United Nations employees” in Gaza, Lebanon and the occupied West Bank. Since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, nearly 300 humanitarian aid workers, more than two-thirds of them UN staff, have been killed.

What are the Rules of War? | The Laws of War | ICRC
Yes, even wars have laws. To find out more, visit http://therulesofwar.org ******** Rules of War in a Nutshell - script Since the beginning, humans have resorted to violence as a way to settle disagreements. Yet through the ages, people from around the world have tried to limit the brutality of war. It was this humanitarian spirit that led to the First Geneva Convention of 1864,and to the birth of modern International Humanitarian Law. Setting the basic limits on how wars can be fought, these universal laws of war protect those not fighting, as well as those no longer able to. To do this, a distinction must always be made between who or what may be attacked, and who or what must be spared and protected. - CIVILIANS - Most importantly, civilians can never be targeted. To do so is a w...

Right now, a lot of people are talking about war crimes, but what actually is a war crime, how difficult is it to punish a war criminal, and are war crimes ever justified? The simple answer to that last question, is: no.

1:41 What are the types of War Crimes?
2:42 What is Collective Punishment

3:38 What are Crimes Against Humanity?

4:50 How are War Crimes Proven?
5:58 How are War Criminals Punished?
The concept of "the rules of war" goes back a long time, but only recently did most of the world agree on how wars should be conducted. This is known as International Humanitarian Law and it's made up of a patchwork of different treaties and conventions, like the Geneva Conventions which were created after WWII.
Because International Humanitarian Law is pulling from a number of different sources, not all countries agree on every single law within it. They may recognise one convention, but not another - but pretty much every country recognises the core ideas of minimising suffering and protecting people not involved in the fighting.
So, what are the different types of war crimes? The Rome Statute breaks it down into 3 different categories: War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide - there's a bit of overlap, but they're largely separate.
War crimes are when you break the rules of war during an armed conflict, and there are a lot of different crimes that fall under this category (killing civilians, torture and taking hostages, denying medical care, attacking historical monuments, forcing people to leave their homes).
It's not just what you do during a conflict, but also how you conduct yourself when you’re actually fighting (child soldiers, using civilians as human shields - e.g. firing missiles from inside a crowded school, so your enemy can't retaliate).
There's also something called collective punishment (punishing a group of people because you suspect some might be enemies). Then there’s the use of certain weapons. They may be considered inhumane because they cause unnecessary suffering, or it could be because they’re indiscriminate, not targeted, and likely to cause collateral damage & harm civilians.
A war crime can be the death of just one person, whereas crimes against humanity are often organised campaigns with the aim of killing or torturing or displacing a large group of civilians over a period of time. Another big difference is that crimes against humanity don’t need to take place during a conflict. Think Apartheid in South Africa, or the way that Joseph Stalin used to make his political opponents disappear in the Soviet Union.
The final category is genocide. What separates genocide from Crimes Against Humanity is that the end goal needs to be the complete destruction of an entire group of people. Genocide also doesn't technically have to involve killing. It could take the form of trying to starve a group of people, or taking away their children.
When it comes to proving war crimes, Human Rights groups play a big role in the collection of evidence. That can involve interviewing witnesses and survivors, working with local organisations and journalists, and going through huge amounts of photos and videos to try to reconstruct events.
Human Rights Groups create detailed reports and pass them on to international bodies or governments, or use them to pursue legal action.
Prosecuting war criminals in court, is challenging for a number of reasons. Proving a war crime has taken place can be straightforward, but linking it to an individual, can be very tough. Also, it’s often not possible to go to court in the country where the crime was committed, because the country may still be at war, or it may be the government that has committed the crime.
There are international tribunals and courts like the ICC, but its powers are limited because not every country recognises its authority. Another option are the domestic courts of countries that have universal jurisdiction (e.g. France in 2014, convicting Pascal Simbikangwa for his role in the Rwandan Genocide).
Actual war crime convictions aren't all that common, but that doesn't mean that the work of Human Rights Groups goes to waste. Detailed reports and evidence can lead to international pressure, and travel bans on war criminals. Early reporting on war crimes can also sometimes help to stop a conflict from escalating, and it can lead to support and assistance for victims of war crimes and make sure that the crimes committed against them aren't forgotten. - Story by Nicholas Maher

Rules of War in a Nutshell - script
Since the beginning, humans have resorted to violence as a way to settle disagreements.
Yet through the ages, people from around the world have tried to limit the brutality of war.
It was this humanitarian spirit that led to the First Geneva Convention of 1864,and to the birth of modern International Humanitarian Law.
Setting the basic limits on how wars can be fought, these universal laws of war protect those not fighting, as well as those no longer able to.
To do this, a distinction must always be made between who or what may be attacked, and who or what must be spared and protected.
- CIVILIANS -
Most importantly, civilians can never be targeted. To do so is a war crime.
“When they drove into our village, they shouted that they were going to kill everyone. I was so scared, I ran to hide in the bush.
I heard my mother screaming. I thought I would never see her again.”
Every possible care must be taken to avoid harming civilians or destroying things essential for their survival.
They have a right to receive the help they need.
- DETAINEES -
“The conditions prisoners lived in never used to bother me.
People like him were the reason my brother was dead.
He was the enemy and was nothing to me.
But then I realized that behind bars, he was out of action and no longer a threat to me or my family.”
The laws of war prohibit torture and other ill-treatment of detainees, whatever their past.
They must be given food and water and allowed to communicate with loved ones. This preserves their dignity and keeps them alive.
- SICK & WOUNDED -
Medical workers save lives, sometimes in the most dangerous conditions.
“Several fighters from both sides had been critically wounded in a fierce battle and we were taking them to the closest hospital.
At a checkpoint, a soldier threatened us, demanding that we only treat his men. Time was running out and I was afraid they were all going to die.”
Medical workers must always be allowed to do their job and the Red Cross or Red Crescent must not be attacked.
The sick or wounded have a right to be cared for, regardless of whose side they are on.
- LIMITS TO WARFARE -
Advances in weapons technology has meant that the rules of war have also had to adapt.
Because some weapons and methods of warfare don't distinguish between fighters and civilians, limits on their use have been agreed.
In the future, wars may be fought with fully autonomous robots.
But will such robots ever have the ability to distinguish between a military target and someone who must never be attacked?
No matter how sophisticated weapons become it is essential that they are in line with the rules of war.
International Humanitarian Law is all about making choices that preserve a minimum of human dignity in times of war, and makes sure that living together again is possible once the last bullet has been shot.

Right now, a lot of people are talking about war crimes, but what actually is a war crime, how difficult is it to punish a war criminal, and are war crimes ever justified? The simple answer to that last question, is: no.
0:00 Can War Crimes be Justified?
0:50 The Rules of War & International Humanitarian Law
1:41 What are the types of War Crimes?
2:42 What is Collective Punishment
3:10 Proportionality
3:38 What are Crimes Against Humanity?
4:20 What is Genocide?
4:50 How are War Crimes Proven?
5:58 How are War Criminals Punished?
The concept of "the rules of war" goes back a long time, but only recently did most of the world agree on how wars should be conducted. This is known as International Humanitarian Law and it's made up of a patchwork of different treaties and conventions, like the Geneva Conventions which were created after WWII.
Because International Humanitarian Law is pulling from a number of different sources, not all countries agree on every single law within it. They may recognise one convention, but not another - but pretty much every country recognises the core ideas of minimising suffering and protecting people not involved in the fighting.
So, what are the different types of war crimes? The Rome Statute breaks it down into 3 different categories: War Crimes, Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide - there's a bit of overlap, but they're largely separate.
War crimes are when you break the rules of war during an armed conflict, and there are a lot of different crimes that fall under this category (killing civilians, torture and taking hostages, denying medical care, attacking historical monuments, forcing people to leave their homes).
It's not just what you do during a conflict, but also how you conduct yourself when you’re actually fighting (child soldiers, using civilians as human shields - e.g. firing missiles from inside a crowded school, so your enemy can't retaliate).
There's also something called collective punishment (punishing a group of people because you suspect some might be enemies). Then there’s the use of certain weapons. They may be considered inhumane because they cause unnecessary suffering, or it could be because they’re indiscriminate, not targeted, and likely to cause collateral damage & harm civilians.
A war crime can be the death of just one person, whereas crimes against humanity are often organised campaigns with the aim of killing or torturing or displacing a large group of civilians over a period of time. Another big difference is that crimes against humanity don’t need to take place during a conflict. Think Apartheid in South Africa, or the way that Joseph Stalin used to make his political opponents disappear in the Soviet Union.
The final category is genocide. What separates genocide from Crimes Against Humanity is that the end goal needs to be the complete destruction of an entire group of people. Genocide also doesn't technically have to involve killing. It could take the form of trying to starve a group of people, or taking away their children.
When it comes to proving war crimes, Human Rights groups play a big role in the collection of evidence. That can involve interviewing witnesses and survivors, working with local organisations and journalists, and going through huge amounts of photos and videos to try to reconstruct events.
Human Rights Groups create detailed reports and pass them on to international bodies or governments, or use them to pursue legal action.
Prosecuting war criminals in court, is challenging for a number of reasons. Proving a war crime has taken place can be straightforward, but linking it to an individual, can be very tough. Also, it’s often not possible to go to court in the country where the crime was committed, because the country may still be at war, or it may be the government that has committed the crime.
There are international tribunals and courts like the ICC, but its powers are limited because not every country recognises its authority. Another option are the domestic courts of countries that have universal jurisdiction (e.g. France in 2014, convicting Pascal Simbikangwa for his role in the Rwandan Genocide).
Actual war crime convictions aren't all that common, but that doesn't mean that the work of Human Rights Groups goes to waste. Detailed reports and evidence can lead to international pressure, and travel bans on war criminals. Early reporting on war crimes can also sometimes help to stop a conflict from escalating, and it can lead to support and assistance for victims of war crimes and make sure that the crimes committed against them aren't forgotten. - Story by Nicholas Maher

American politicians are calling on Russia to be charged with war crimes at the International Criminal Court. The only problem is the U.S. has been dodging accountability for its own alleged war crimes for decades. So, how do both Russia and the U.S. get away with it?

“The United Nations should be ashamed of itself. They’ve let their own staff down.”
Writer and activist Ashish Prashar blames the UN for allowing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak at the General Assembly.
He tells TRT World that Netanyahu is a “war criminal who has targeted hundreds of United Nations employees” in Gaza, Lebanon and the occupied West Bank.
Since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza, nearly 300 humanitarian aid workers, more than two-thirds of them UN staff, have been killed.

Rules of War in a Nutshell - script
Since the beginning, humans have resorted to violence as a way to settle disagreements.
Yet through the ages, people from around the world have tried to limit the brutality of war.
It was this humanitarian spirit that led to the First Geneva Convention of 1864,and to the birth of modern International Humanitarian Law.
Setting the basic limits on how wars can be fought, these universal laws of war protect those not fighting, as well as those no longer able to.
To do this, a distinction must always be made between who or what may be attacked, and who or what must be spared and protected.
- CIVILIANS -
Most importantly, civilians can never be targeted. To do so is a war crime.
“When they drove into our village, they shouted that they were going to kill everyone. I was so scared, I ran to hide in the bush.
I heard my mother screaming. I thought I would never see her again.”
Every possible care must be taken to avoid harming civilians or destroying things essential for their survival.
They have a right to receive the help they need.
- DETAINEES -
“The conditions prisoners lived in never used to bother me.
People like him were the reason my brother was dead.
He was the enemy and was nothing to me.
But then I realized that behind bars, he was out of action and no longer a threat to me or my family.”
The laws of war prohibit torture and other ill-treatment of detainees, whatever their past.
They must be given food and water and allowed to communicate with loved ones. This preserves their dignity and keeps them alive.
- SICK & WOUNDED -
Medical workers save lives, sometimes in the most dangerous conditions.
“Several fighters from both sides had been critically wounded in a fierce battle and we were taking them to the closest hospital.
At a checkpoint, a soldier threatened us, demanding that we only treat his men. Time was running out and I was afraid they were all going to die.”
Medical workers must always be allowed to do their job and the Red Cross or Red Crescent must not be attacked.
The sick or wounded have a right to be cared for, regardless of whose side they are on.
- LIMITS TO WARFARE -
Advances in weapons technology has meant that the rules of war have also had to adapt.
Because some weapons and methods of warfare don't distinguish between fighters and civilians, limits on their use have been agreed.
In the future, wars may be fought with fully autonomous robots.
But will such robots ever have the ability to distinguish between a military target and someone who must never be attacked?
No matter how sophisticated weapons become it is essential that they are in line with the rules of war.
International Humanitarian Law is all about making choices that preserve a minimum of human dignity in times of war, and makes sure that living together again is possible once the last bullet has been shot.
