We have international treaties that ban biological and chemical weapons. Other weapons that are regulated include anti-personnel mines, cluster bombs, and blinding lasers. Expanding bullets are banned in military uses as are incendiary weapons against civilian targets.
That's the state today. Throughout history there's been a long negotiation about what weapons have been allowed in combat.
tell that to the people that Assad gassed -- in his own country -- or the Kurds gassed by Saddam. Or all of the chemical weapons used in the 1980s during Iran-Iraq.
or all of the people dying from AP mines in Ukraine.
half the world signed anti-mine treaties because they knew that if the real shooting started the US or USSR (who didn't sign the treaties) had a stockpile to send them.
there are easily searchable videos of the incendiary weapons being used against Ukrainians.
where are those international bodies?
