As the war in Syria continues the United States along with the United Nations has started to investigate possible war crimes that the Syrian and Russian governments have been committing throughout the war. In the past weeks there's been an increasing trend in the bombing and raiding of hospitals and other locations with a primarily civilian population. These locations being targeted suggests cruel and suspicious war strategies from Russia and Syria that could lead to these governments being found guilty of war crimes.
This article was written by a reporter from BBC in order to let the general public know about this inhumane behavior being conducted by the governments of our world today. The raiding of civilian hospitals would have no significant impact on the actual enemy they are fighting, but it would wound or kill innocent citizens of Syria. Though these crimes are horrible, the United Notions is taking action to prevent further war crimes in Syria. This action can be tied to the War Crimes Act of 1996 which outlined the penalties of war crimes in the United States. Acts like these help protect the world against crimes against humanity. This idea of crimes against humanity was first founded shortly after WW2 but was not fully addressed until later in history. Hopefully the war crimes in Syria will be stopped soon.

This is very saddening, and proves how monstrous this world is, and an eye opener to other horrific shootings and such outside the United States.
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad that people are bombing hospitals which is killing innocent people. I hope they create laws like we did and it will prevent the bombings.
ReplyDeleteSomeone has to be punished for these terrible things happening to the innocent. But we are also to blame, we bomb many suspected ISIS sites, but some of them aren't ISIS and we end up killing women and children. This entire war is horrific.
