Original Note:
While white phosphorus is not explicitly banned in all circumstances (such as when used primarily to create a smokescreen), the use of incendiary weapons on civilian areas is explicitly banned by Protocol III of the The Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (UN 1980). https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/269/62/IMG/NR026962.pdf?OpenElement https://disarmament.unoda.org/the-convention-on-certain-conventional-weapons
