Episode notes
Challenges in Enforcing Laws of War
- International law on war relies on nations enforcing laws of war on their own troops.
- Terrorist groups like Hamas violate these laws, complicating adherence and accountability.
War Crimes and Civilian Targeting
- War crimes include using civilians as human shields and deliberately targeting civilians.
- Such tactics complicate military responses and challenge notions of proportionality and necessity.
