    This isn’t a conventional army. It’s an unconventional uprising against their oppressors. Normal rules do not apply.

      I had a discussion on this point when we went over this at uni.

      They aren’t signatories to the Geneva convention, UN Charter or any of the other rule based systems we have, however they can still done under crimes against humanity.

      No criminal ever signed a declaration before they crime that they agree to follow our laws, but are prosecuted all the same.
