Original Note:
The Law of Armed Conflict applies to all parties and requires combatants to distinguish themselves and to attempt to limit harm to civilians. UN cannot enforce that law, which often leads to requiring it only from “civilised” side of conflict. E.g.: Russian war crimes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_war_crimes https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2022/11/ukraine-russia-prisoners-war
