Scenarios about 'laws of war'
The formal and customary rules governing armed conflict between states, militaries, and other organized armed groups. Laws of war, also known as international humanitarian law, evolved from ancient customs to the Geneva Conventions and Hague Regulations, aiming to limit suffering by protecting civilians, prisoners of war, and the wounded while prohibiting certain weapons and tactics. These principles form a critical framework for analyzing how alternate histories might diverge in their treatment of military conduct, occupation policies, and post-conflict justice.
