    1. 1. War in the smartphone/social media era is wild. 2. It's actually a war crime to display captured prisoners of war for "public curiosity" under Article 13 of the Geneva Conventions. @NINJIS_NFT/1499009261179117568

    The rise of internet and social media has led to particular hand-wringing in recent years on what it all means for Article 13 of the Geneva Conventions. Here are some excerpts from the 2020 commentary on Article 13: ihl-databases.icrc.org/applic/ihl/ihl.nsf/Comment.xsp?action=openDocument&documentId=3DEA78B5A19414AFC1258585004344BD

      I see Richard Sisk of @Militarydotcom has done a good article looking at this issue. He cites Gary Solis comparing these kinds of videos of captured Russian troops calling home "more to a misdemeanor than a felony." military.com/daily-news/2022/03/01/captured-russian-troops-call-home-while-filmed-ukrainian-officials-raising-geneva-convention.html
