The Conventions apply to all cases of declared war between signatory nations. This is the original sense of applicability, which predates the 1949 version.
The Conventions apply to all cases of armed conflict between two or more signatory nations, even in the absence of a declaration of war. This language was added in 1949 to accommodate situations that have all the characteristics of war without the existence of a formal declaration of war, such as a police action.
The Conventions apply to a signatory nation even if the opposing nation is not a signatory, but only if the opposing nation "accepts and applies the provisions" of the Conventions.
So, no --- you're wrong again.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Well, unlike Shuny, before spewing forth ignorance, I wasn't sure, so I actually looked it up.Last edited by seer; 07-07-2016, 11:35 AM.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

so you have no problem outright killing of terrorists along with "collateral" damage with no due process, but it is immoral to torture terrorists for information with no intention of killing them or causing any physical damage, or causing any collateral civilian damage?
I for one, would rather be "tortured" without damage, rather than get blown up by a drone, laying dead, or wounded physically and suffering a slow torturous death.Last edited by Sparko; 07-07-2016, 01:12 PM.
