Yes, destroying critical infrastructure CAN be considered a war crime, but its legal classification depends on the specific circumstances of the attack, particularly whether the target serves a military purpose and whether the destruction is proportionate.

That’s the Iranians that have threatened to do that on neighboring countries. Blowing up oil refineries is not the same conversation

Nah, we carpet bombed German cities, Vietnam and Iraq and no crimes were charged then.

Firebomb Japan with the intent to burn everything. Just short time later, we dropped two atomic bombs on two cities. Wonder if those took out any public utilities?

I'm gonna say there was a least a brief power surge. Big, bright, beautiful power surge.

Article 54

quote:

1. Starvation of civilians as a method of warfare is prohibited.

2. It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as foodstuffs, agricultural areas for the production of foodstuffs, crops, livestock, drinking water installations and supplies and irrigation works, for the specific purpose of denying them for their sustenance value to the civilian population or to the adverse Party, whatever the motive, whether in order to starve out civilians, to cause them to move away, or for any other motive.

3. The prohibitions in paragraph 2 shall not apply to such of the objects covered by it as are used by an adverse Party:

(a) as sustenance solely for the members of its armed forces; or
(b) if not as sustenance, then in direct support of military action, provided, however, that in no event shall actions against these objects be taken which may be expected to leave the civilian population with such inadequate food or water as to cause its starvation or force its movement.

4. These objects shall not be made the object of reprisals.

5. In recognition of the vital requirements of any Party to the conflict in the defence of its national territory against invasion, derogation from the prohibitions contained in paragraph 2 may be made by a Party to the conflict within such territory under its own control where required by imperative military necessity.


It was adopted in 1977 and entered into force in 1978. You'll note that there are exceptions if the infrastructure is there for military infrastructure

Well that's the thing. They're classified as war crimes but no one ever enforces them

I didn't ask for the code. I asked if it ever has been.

Again. Both conflicts in Iraq as an example.

Both Ukraine and Russia is guilty of some of that. We dragging them out of their countries?

Can we charge el presidente of Cuba with it? Surely we can back door that in somehow.

What about the stumpy North Korean dictator? Can we go get him and try him?

The Chinese wirh the Uyghurs?

Sorry for giving you more information than you requested. I'm sure you'll survive by simply not reading it.

This is simple neo-con stupidity.

Basically you saying anyone who does not agree with harming innocent civilians love the Mullahs. The very same innocent civilians used in an argument to justify bombings that would harm innocent civilians.

I am honestly confused as to how some of you could figure out how to procreate.

Uhh you actually gave none. You dodged the question and filled in with an unrelated answer.

Do they use their electric infrastructure to manufacture weapons and support the war? If so, not a war crime.

This thread is pitiful. So many (assuming voting age) posters have a rudimentary, at best, understanding of international law.

No you can’t attack civilian infrastructure. Full stop.
