War Crimes
Abstract
War crimes are behaviors that infringe rules of armed conflict. Since the mid-nineteenth century, several International Conventions begins to regulate treatment of the prisoners, wounded and civilians and types of combat prohibited. International Humanitarian Law arises in the Geneva Conventions, and the "Hague law" which regulates the use of force and how must be conducted the fighting in an armed conflict. The grave breach of these Conventions are considered war crimes, from its initial regulation in the Charter of the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, through the ad-hoc international tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, to Article 8 of the Rome Statute.
