Well, it is certainly not international warfare, as ISIS is not a recognized nation, and therefor unable to be a signatory to anything.

If Russia is a signatory, Syrians or Iranians could pop the Willy Pete for them. If they have both signed, Hizbullah, or that crazy kid who has been hanging around might pull the cord on their own initiative.

Of course it will be a short period of time before we find all victims of the WP are widows and orphans and puppies and kittens.

That's only if the information source doesn't care about "collateral damage" in the village where their family lives.

it is certainly not international warfare

I would have to disagree with that.

Putin,
“Geneva convention,what convention,we don’t recognize no stink’en convention”

“This is why we are getting thousands of refugees.”

We ain’t doing it right then. If you kill enough of them, they stop fighting and fleeing.

Lot’s of scared sounding allahsnakbars heard.

[Parley Baer]

Just think what could be done if Trump as President.

So is gang raping little Christian girls and sawing their heads off in front of their parents.

I thought white phosphorous was banned by a Geneva Convention.

Against humans.

The ISIS muzzies have given up any claim to that with the crap they have pulled off. Burn them all.

Inter National = Between Nations

Intra National = Inside a Nation (Civil War)

ISIS is not legally recognized as a nation.

I just mention this as a technical, legal interpretation of the treaty. Yes it is a proxy war for many nations, but ISIS does qualify as a nation for treaty purposes, just as al Queda does not qualify as lawful combatants under the Geneva Convention.

Fair enough, but I note from the link:

“It also applies to non-international armed conflict”

[Trumpinator]

Idlib was taken by al-Qaeda not ISIS, FYI

[Terry L Smith]

Looks just like the B29 raids on Tokyo!!!

Hey, jihad Johnny, don’t let that stuff get on you, now!

hahahahaha.

Putin likes his ISIS, “Extra Crispy”

[ASA Vet]

Directly above the numerals “79” is what looks like a Russian Kasta 2E1 (Flat Face A,) acquisition Radar. Over the tail appears to be a PRV-9 (Thin Skin A) height finding radar. Both are older radars not associated with the S-400 system.

[onedoug]

Good. How many have they killed?

[BeauBo]

“It also applies to non-international armed conflict”

...”if a state party has ratified the 2001 amendment to the 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons and its Protocols”

Syria and Iran are not parties to the treaty at all. Russia is.

White phosphorous was a huge issue when used against guerrillas in El Salvador in the 80s, IIRC.
The Geneva Conventions’ intent is to protect civilians, and mainly apply to conventional warfare, involving nations’ opposing armies.
But guerillas fight within and against their own nations. They don’t play by any conventional rules, increasingly employ depraved terrorist tactics, and hide among civilians in order to intentionally cause civilian casualties.
Such tactics essentially render the Geneva Conventions moot.
