<![CDATA[Think about this.]]>Think about this. Having started a war with no planning, the US has discovered that it can't defend its own bases in the Middle East. So it is shifting troops to hotels and other residences where they are shielded by civilians. That's a war crime.

Each signatory to the Geneva conventions has a duty and obligation to pursue war crimes in their own national courts fory any other signatory if they are unable or unwilling in their national courts. The ICC streamlines and standardizes this, but universal jurisdiction was always an option in the original Geneva conventions, to which those countries are a signatory.

The Statute is the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Its purpose is to prosecute the gravest international crimes: crimes against humanity and crimes.

Neither the , nor , or has ratified it.

No international court means no conviction under the .

They do not care. They only care about thier own - to confuse, reflect and controle/bully the whole world.

Israel had a word for such buildings, whether or not they had soldiers in them.

Targets.

Hope those buildings get flattened.

Dispersion has been usual since artillery.
Taking over the whole building is also more usual, for security.
I suspect hotels may not be fully booked just now?

War crimes only happen to nations that are part of the International Criminal Court. The USA is not a signatory to the ICC. Terror states like the USA and russia don't join the ICC so they can protect terrorists.
