On Ukraines side, but those nail bombs violate the Geneva Convention

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I didn’t know that. What is the difference between this, and β€œbuilt-in” shrapnel in explosives (from a legal perspective)? The end result is all the same after the explosion

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some of those nails are rusty. It's not hygienic.

TIL war is okay as long as you're hygienic.

Only think I know is that fragment size can't be too small, maybe you can argue that a nail is untested and thus can make micro fragments? Curious to know why this wouldn't be allowed

Edit: looks like there is a general ban on "unnecessary suffering or superfluous wounds", so if the nails are strong enough to injure but not kill, they are prohibited.

Increased lethality to the target is OK though

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, this topic is pretty crazy. I get banning nukes, and gassing, but shrapnal limitations?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 years ago

Right so my understanding is something like fishhooks would be illegal because they’re shaped to maximize suffering, but these would be fine.

[–] Docus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Let’s do some thorough testing then. For uh.. science

The poor invading forces have an easy way to avoid it.

It's more like most states interpret it to allow reciprocity.

Can't handle the heat, don't start a fire, etc.
