“ #Internationallaws aimed at preventing the horrors of total war are codified in a series of agreements, including the #GenevaConventions, the #HagueConventions, the #NurembergPrinciples and the #UnitedNationsCharter.

Attacks on Essential Infrastructure Will Have Catastrophic Consequences for Millions of Civilians Across the Region

April 6, 2026 — In the context of the ongoing threats and attacks against civilians and civilian infrastructure across the region, including power plants, water treatment facilities, and bridges, the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) urgently reminds all parties to the current conflict of their binding obligations under international humanitarian law, including the four Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols. These legal frameworks establish fundamental protections for civilians during armed conflict, including the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precautions in attack. They strictly prohibit directing attacks against civilians or civilian objects, as well as indiscriminate or

Germany. If you dare say: "from the river to the sea", you get arrested.
These are the signs of things to come. We are slowly but steadily on our way to becoming #Gaza and #Lebanon
After having destroyed the #UN, the #ICC, the #ICJ, the #GenevaConventions, the #RedCross, the #InternationalDeclarationofHumanRights, it is now turn for our individual governments to suffer.
The Germans have learned nothing from the #erinnerungskultur

Iranians killed in search of the #US missing pilot...
Not very smart guy (how surprising). It seems they are getting closer to him, and already he is abusing Iranian hospitality. It's the American way of life, after all: solve all your problems with guns, as guaranteed in the #secondammendment of a constitution that doesn't mean a thing.

I hate sharing anything from Qalibaf that I remember personally from 1980s horrors.

But sadly he is telling the truth, much more often than the orange shitler.

US has asked Iran for help rescuing their pilot and "threat him in accordance to international laws".

The sad part is US and EU designated IRGC as a terrorist organization, German chanslor proudly announced that international laws don't apply to Iran. But the terrorists are expected to follow the laws that don't apply to them if they capture the American pilot.

It's perfectly logical, isn't it?

PS. I would love to see a reporter asking Shulz about this issue

The #CollectivePunishmentsOrdinance was passed by #Kenya's colonial administration on #ThisDayInHistory in 1952, allowing steep fines and theft of crops & cattle from any village deemed 'hostile'. Never mind that #CollectivePunishment is a #WarCrime under the #GenevaConventions.

@Wen

Bush would have been told that 'nucular' power stations get their own specific provisions under the Geneva Conventions.

Even Rumsfeld and Cheney would have been more cautious about this sort of thing than #DonaldJTrump.

I have a suspicion that someone had a quiet word with Trump about going down in history as one of a very few people to have caused nuclear fallout in a war.
