Article 51 of the Geneva Convention

[Tyrion234]

Seems that there should not be any bombing period.

You right-wingers don't get it. If we start wars, we can get hit too.

But you’re accusing Trump of war crimes he has not committed, TDS has consumed your life clown

 

[IM2]

Okay, lock Bill Clinton and Tony Blair up for war crimes.

Another incorrect false equivalence. Neither man threatened to destroy or end an entire civilization.

Stop the stupid --- whataboutisms MAGAT.

The threat to eliminate the Iranian civilization by bombing electrical grids, bridges, and other infrastructure violates the Geneva Convention.

Specifically Article 51.

Article 51 of the Geneva Convention provides essential protections for civilians during armed conflict, prohibiting attacks on civilian populations and ensuring their safety.

Text​

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.

Implications​

Article 51 emphasizes the importance of protecting civilians during armed conflicts and establishes clear prohibitions against targeting non-combatants. 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.

True true, maybe the rules of engagement need to change. Hard to engage in combat if you have one hand tied behind your back because you are bound by rules that the other side is not.

 

[ThisIsMe]

You number is a total fabrication.

Why aren't you concerned about the deliberate murders of Ukrainian women and children by Trump's hero Putin?

Why aren't we bombing Russia?

lol, we ARE bombing Russia. Every missile that Ukraine has sent over is probably one of ours and we train their forces….

That's the first thing you do in war, is take out their infrastructure. Dumbass.

I have not outed myself as anything but an American who stands for what is right.

**** off MAGAT scum.

you are a ******* liar....you dont stand for anything that is right....

If I remember, Biden let that war to happen. Even encouraged it, he lifted the sanctions. That held Putin back.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Wow, you can put your propaganda in the exact same place. Supply routes and the means of production have always been legitimate objectives. They've been part of every military campaign in history. BTW why is it you lefties never criticize Iran when they intentionally target civilian populations as do their proxies?

.

In their eyes, Iran is not to blame for putting human shields in the way, but America is to blame for bombing the military targets where Iran has put those people and forced them to stay.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Seems to me if he tells them WHERE and WHEN he is going to bomb, there shouldn’t be any civilians in the areas huh?

Unless they force those people to stay..but then the left blames America for that.

IM2 has not even suggested locking up Obama for firebombing a wedding

Why not?

Yemenis: Drone Strike 'Turned Wedding into Funeral'

The Obama administration has launched an internal investigation into a drone strike in Yemen that villagers say hit a wedding party, U.S. officials tell NBC News.

…or Clinton and the Chinese Embassy in Serbia. That has to be against the rules, right?

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

Trump loves him some strongmen and he wants to be one, too.

He's jealous Putin gets to commit war crimes and wants to join the club.

hahahaha…Awesome!
Do you toxically empathetic unconventional AF wackos realize Iranians want you dead…TODAY?

No its not either. I work with several iranians who have first hand accounts from family over there and what happened.

 

[Jarlaxle]

AOC asked what week the Geneva Convention was being held.

Indianapolis, July 30-August 2 this year. (Yes, that's what "GenCon" originally meant.)

Another incorrect false equivalence. Neither man threatened to destroy or end an entire civilization.

Stop the stupid --- whataboutisms MAGAT.

Show us where a threat is a war crime, Dumbass.
