Conceivable Commission of War Crime in Afghanistan
When armies are engaged in combat, war crimes are defined as violations of the law of war. It is a broad conception, and any harm done to humanity in a time of peace is viewed as a war crime. War crimes include any form of human rights violation. For a few decades, the suffering of Afghans was overlooked by the outside world, but it is now unacceptable that Afghanistan's leadership is following suit. There is no comprehensive genocide law in Afghanistan. War crimes in Afghanistan included things like mistreating civilians or POWs. The issue of genocide and associated violence must be addressed. As a result, war crimes in Afghanistan constitute transgressions of international humanitarian law, which carry with them a personal liability and must be thoroughly investigated.
