Their wars found us.
They made resolutions to the performance and deliberation of war and they pissed on them!
Here's a Article (Article 32, 33, 34 of The Laws of War on Land. Oxford, 9 September 1880):

Art. 32. It is forbidden:



(a) To pillage, even towns taken by assault;



(b) To destroy public or private property, if this destruction is not demanded by an imperative necessity of war;



(c) To attack and to bombard undefended places.



' If it is incontestable that belligerents have the right to resort to bombardment against fortresses and other places in which the enemy is intrenched, considerations of humanity require that this means of coercion be surrounded with certain modifying influences which will restrict as far as possible the effects to the hostile armed force and its means of defense. This is why '



Art. 33. The commander of an attacking force, save in cases of open assault, shall, before undertaking a bombardment, make every due effort to give notice thereof to the local authorities.



Art. 34. In case of bombardment all necessary steps must be taken to spare, if it can be done, buildings dedicated to religion, art, science and charitable purposes, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are gathered on the condition that they are not being utilized at the time, directly or indirectly, for defense.



It is the duty of the besieged to indicate the presence of such buildings by visible signs notified to the assailant beforehand.
