US President Joe Biden has accused Russia's forces of committing"genocide" in Ukraine, saying Vladimir Putin appears intent on"trying to wipe out the idea" of a distinct Ukrainian identity.
War crimes are serious violations of international law against civilians and combatants during armed conflict. Article 8 also covers deliberate attacks on civilians or"towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives" as well as the"deportation or transfer of all or parts of the population" of an occupied territory.
The crime of genocide was formally created in the Genocide Convention of 1948 to describe"acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".

Can you have a war without war crimes?..In the old days armies lined up against each other and charged like Battle of the Boyne...Civilians stayed out of it.. In modern war war civilians are involved...In Vietnam Syria or this Ukrainian war majority of deaths will be civilian..
Cue the putin-groupie bots to redefine war crimes so it doesn't include russia's deliberate displacement of millions and their deliberate destruction of Ukrainian cities
A war crime is whatever the people who run International Capital don't agree with. When you have the backing of International Capital you are immune from war crime charges, see Tony Blair, George Bush.
