war atrocities  

Définition

  • War itself can be considered an atrocity, but even in the extreme violence of war, people make distinctions between acts that are necessary to achieve a nation's war aims and those that are gratuitously cruel. Targeting civilians, killing the wounded, rape, torture, and genocide are among the acts that both offend our conscience and violate international law.
