Original Note:
Wilful killing of civilians is a direct contravention of the Rome Statute Article 8 and the Geneva Convention upon which said statute is based and is thus a war crime. Between 150,000 and 250,000 civilians were killed in Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki. https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/war-crimes https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/geneva-convention-relative-protection-civilian-persons-time-war https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki
