@thenewsincolor5246 The Geneva conventions apply everywhere. It is international law, not EU law. The Fourth Geneva Convention (1949) prohibits the targeting of civilians and requires distinguishing between combatants and civilians in military operations. Article 51 specifically prohibits "indiscriminate attacks" and attacks that "employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective." Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions explicitly prohibits "indiscriminate attacks." Article 51 defines indiscriminate attacks as those which are "not directed at a specific military objective" or "employ a method or means of combat which cannot be directed at a specific military objective." The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (1998) includes as a war crime "intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities."

@thenewsincolor5246 Enforcement is the problem, but not the law itself. The law IS clear

@thenewsincolor5246 the Balfour declaration was not law, it is not an Act, or a Statute. It was not from the British government, it was merely a love letter sent from a boot locking cabinet minister to a Rothschild. You cannot create a nation state with a love letter; that was done when the zionissts committed terror attacks on British occupied Mandatory Palestine (the reason for Britain leaving)

@thenewsincolor5246 The Geneva conventions are dated, and they're post WWII

@taniakol Cyprus border is a UN buffer zone, constituted of Slovakian, Canadian, and Turkish peacekeepers was the force that built and protected it. Do your homework

@taniakol I'm not telling myself anything, it's a matter of record that the island was partitioned as part of the UN plan for Cyprus, the taskforce was named 'UNFICYP | United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus' Did Canada invade Cyprus? Their peacekeepers were shoulder to shoulder with the Turkish peacekeepers enacting the UN plan. Moreover, the Turks have been on the island since 1570; how does one "invade" a land already lived upon? The peacekeepers arrived to stop the ethnic cleansing pogrom of the terrorist group EOKA B, backed by a Greek military junta. You do not know what you're talking about.
