War Crime

A war crime is a serious violation of the rules or laws governing warfare, committed during an armed conflict. This includes actions such as intentionally targeting civilians, torture, executing prisoners, using prohibited weapons, or destroying properties unnecessarily. War crimes are considered offenses against international law and can be prosecuted in courts like the International Criminal Court. They undermine humanitarian principles, causing unnecessary suffering and chaos during conflicts. Recognizing and addressing war crimes is essential to uphold human rights and ensure accountability in times of war.
