People seem to forget that the rules of war change with every conflift that is fought. The convention needs a serious update as things are so far beyond its original intention.as it was set in law in 1949 when war was suposed to be still civilized. Sadley now war is waged anyway that the beligirents find easiest and the most effective hence the way the war on terror is running.
