There are also some rules for war, these rules have been made under the Geneva Convention, Hague Convention and other international laws and agreements.
War crimes are violations of the laws of war, including the intentional killing of civilians or the intentional killing of prisoners of war, torture, hostage-taking, wanton destruction of civilian property, sexual violence during wartime, looting, and the recruitment of children into the military. crimes like genocide etc.
According to the UN, the rules of war were first formulated in the early 20th century. These rules were dictated by the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 and the four treaties made during 1864 to 1949 by the Geneva Conventions.
Where the Hague Convention prohibits the use of some deadly weapons such as anti-personnel landmines and chemical or biological weapons, etc. in times of war, the Geneva Convention sets the rules for war crimes committed during war.
