war crimes- what the publis should know

War crime: The public should know what war crimes are reminiscent of horror images, concentration camps, ethnic cleansing, execution of prisoners of war, rape and city bombing. These figures correspond in many ways to the legal definition of this term, but the lines drawn by international law do not correspond perfectly to our understanding of the most terrible acts. A war crime refers to a violation of war law or international humanitarian law (IHL) and should be subject to individual criminal liability.

But how do you talk about Yoo being a war criminal? Even after eight years of democratic moderation, he was not accused of war crimes. Should he be withdrawn from discussions on democracy and intellectuals if he is not accused of a crime of war crimes (not to mention guilty)? Or do you have democracy, knowledge and political responsibility to listen to him? The problem of asking not to talk to Yoo is that because Yoo is actually guilty, people making such a request are not doing the necessary work to persuade others. They think that Yu is guilty. They may be right. But in democratic countries where the legal system is functioning, Yoo is innocent until guilty. Indeed, many people are urging Yoo to sue, but he has not even been indicted. This shows that our country has big opinion differences about Yu's guilt and innocence.

What legal institutions are needed to sue these crimes in the war, within the tribe, religious, ethnic war? Countries often participating in intense civil warfare are not guilty of past atrocities, they are too weak to the trial, or are more concerned about regaining domestic peace. Therefore, should the international community undertake such a task if it is impossible or inconvenient for the State to prosecute a serious human rights violation by political and military leaders?

At the moment there is a disagreement as to whether children should be prosecuted for war crimes. International law does not prohibit the prosecution of guilty children of war crimes, but Article 37 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child limits the punishment a child can receive. "After the civil war in Sierra Leone, the United Nations allowed the former combatants over the age of 15 to attempt to violate humanitarian law, including war crimes, at the Sierra Leone Special Court (SCSL), but in Paris principles, Children involved in conflict stipulate that even if they are perpetrators, they should first be regarded as victims.
