Summary
In the present chapter, we shall concentrate on NIAC war crimes. This is shorthand for serious violations of LONIAC for which individuals are personally accountable (see supra 44). We shall not canvass other international crimes that are possibly relevant to NIACs. In particular, we shall not enquire into crimes against humanity or genocide, although these international crimes can be – and have been – committed while a country is consumed by a NIAC. The elision is due to the fact that there is no built-in direct linkage between crimes against humanity or genocide and a NIAC.
