rooster, You wallow in shit. And you obviously lack all feeling for why collective punishment is deemed a war crime.

Collective punishments
GENERAL DISCLAIMER
“How does law protect in war?” promotes practice-based IHL teaching.
Its contents are developed in partnership with academia and do not necessarily reflect the views of the ICRC.
By continuing on this website, you agree to its terms and conditions.

The term refers not only to criminal punishment, but also to other types of sanctions, harassment or administrative action taken against a group in retaliation for an act committed by an individual/s who are considered to form part of the group. Such punishment therefore targets persons who bear no responsibility for having committed the conduct in question. Historically used as a deterrence tool by occupying powers to prevent attacks from resistance movements, collective punishments for acts committed by individuals during an armed conflict are prohibited by IHL against prisoners of war or other protected persons.

International humanitarian law prohibits collective punishment of prisoners of war or other protected persons for acts committed by individuals during an armed conflict.

The imposition of collective punishment is a war crime.
