Will the US AirForce fulfil the Tangerine Tyrant's threat to 'decimate' Iran's civilian infrastructure?.... widely regarded as being a potential war crime.

The US is explicitly not under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, but the US has so annoyed some allies that any USAF personal involved might need to be careful where they holiday, as any country claiming 'universal jurisdiction' for war crimes might see them as legitimate subjects for arrest?

@ChrisMayLA6 The #US may not be under the jurisdiction of the #ICC, but we did sign the #GenevaConvention.
@farbel @ChrisMayLA6 The US acknowledged it. They are not signatories to the Geneva Convention, so they are not bound by it.

And who "polices" the Geneva Convention anyway?
You know, stuff like *genocide* - what has happened to the perpetrators so far? 🤔
@Quantillion @drwho @ChrisMayLA6 Good question. It is an international treaty. If you break it you also relinquish protection under it. If you are arrested in a participating nation, you can be sent to the Hague. Most countries including the US have laws based on it against war crimes.
@drwho @ChrisMayLA6 The US signed the Geneva Convention. Only the Netherlands and the US ratified it.
