Article 51 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states that:

1. General Protection: The civilian population and individual civilians shall enjoy general protection against dangers arising from military operations.
2. Prohibition of Attacks: The civilian population as such, as well as individual civilians, shall not be the object of attack. Acts or threats of violence aimed at spreading terror among the civilian population are prohibited.
3. Protection During Hostilities: Civilians shall enjoy the protection afforded by this Article unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities.
4. Indiscriminate Attacks: Indiscriminate attacks are prohibited. This includes attacks that may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life or damage to civilian objects that would be excessive in relation to the anticipated military advantage.
5. Reprisals Against Civilians: Attacks against the civilian population or civilians by way of reprisals are prohibited.
6. Use of Civilians to Shield Military Objectives: The presence or movements of the civilian population shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.

It aims to ensure that military operations are conducted in a manner that minimizes harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure. Violations of these protections can lead to serious consequences under international humanitarian law, including potential war crimes charges.

This article is part of a broader framework of international humanitarian law designed to safeguard human rights during times of war and conflict, reflecting the commitment of the international community to uphold the dignity and safety of all individuals, regardless of their status in a conflict.

Geneva Convention covers war between countries not police actions against their own people

 

[TNHarley]

The only punishment we could receive from this is from our own government. We are not bound by the ICC.

The whole war in Iran is a deflection from the Trump-Epstein Files, you poor, dumb, credulous rube!

Some really bad unredacted shit about Trump was coming out. That's why the planning for this diversion was only two weeks, and it shows.

That's why TACO is sounding so demented.

Taking out electricity to limit an enemies ability to produce more weapons and bridges to prevent a military from resupplying are legitimate military targets. Iran intentionally targets civilians in other countries and uses them as shields in their own, yet I don't see you criticizing them. Perhaps you should get your priorities in order.

[BluesLegend]

The whole war in Iran is a deflection

You truly are a moron. It's only been a major issue for presidents since Carter dumb ass. Christ we seriously need to find some smarter Dems to debate with, this crowd all rode the short bus before even the special schools gave up on them.

Sorry, tard. Bashing Trump is not bashing America.

And you think you aren't in a cult!

it's the same threat for Iran leaders to promote death to americans and building nukes they weren't allowed to build. How's it different?
