RUSSIA HAS COMMITTED WAR CRIME:It may not seem like it, but "even war has rules", as the International Committee of the Red Cross puts it. These are contained in treaties called the Geneva Conventions and a string of other international laws and agreements. Civilians cannot be deliberately at-tacked - nor can the infrastructure that is vital to their survival. Some weapons are banned because of the indiscriminate or appalling suffering they cause - such as anti-personnel landmines and chemical or biological weapons. The sick and wounded must be cared for - including injured soldiers, who have rights as prisoners of war. Serious offenses such as murder, rape or mass persecution of a group are known as "crimes against humanity" or, in some circumstances, "genocide". Russia says its forces withdrew from Bucha on March 30. Ukrainians say this happened in the early hours of March 31. On April 1, filmed footage of a car driving through the city was posted that showed bodies on both sides of a road!
