I am sure geneva will laugh their asses off if trump dares to complain. in fact I would love to see him make a fool of himself in front of the world.

----------------------------------------

using human shields to stop war crimes will not be considered a crime,

----------------------------------------------------The laws of war require parties to a conflict to take constant care during military operations to spare the civilian population and to “take all feasible precautions” to avoid or minimize the incidental loss of civilian life and damage to civilian objects. These precautions include doing everything feasible to verify that the objects of attack are military objectives and not civilians or civilian objects, giving “effective advance warning” of attacks when circumstances permit and refraining from an attack if the requirement for proportionality will be violated. Warnings that do not give civilians adequate time to leave for a safer area would not be considered “effective” under the law. Broad warnings unrelated to any imminent attack cannot be considered “effective” and may instead improperly instill fear in the affected population.Customary international law prohibits “acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population.” Statements that call for evacuating areas that are primarily intended to cause panic among residents or compel them to leave their homes for reasons other than their safety would fall under this prohibition. Civilians who do not evacuate following warnings remain fully protected by international humanitarian law. Moreover, some civilians are unable to heed a warning to evacuate, for reasons of health, disability, fear, or lack of any place else to go.T
