Collective punishments
Article 33. No persons may be punished for an offense he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.
Pillage is prohibited.
Reprisals against persons and their property are prohibited.
Under the 1949 Geneva Conventions, collective punishment is a war crime. By collective punishment, the drafters of the Geneva Conventions had in mind the reprisal killings of World War I and World War II. In the First World War, during the Rape of Belgium, the Germans executed Belgian villagers in mass retribution for resistance activity. In World War II, the Germans carried out a form of collective punishment to suppress resistance. Entire villages or towns or districts were held responsible for any resistance activity that occurred in them.[3] The conventions, to counter this, reiterated the principle of individual responsibility. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Commentary to the conventions states that parties to a conflict often would resort to "intimidatory measures to terrorize the population" in hopes of preventing hostile acts, but such practices "strike at guilty and innocent alike. They are opposed to all principles based on humanity and justice."
Additional Protocol II of 1977 explicitly forbids collective punishment. But as fewer states have ratified this protocol than GCIV, GCIV Article 33 is the one more commonly quoted.
Comment: Curious, that one of BND's spying sites was disguised as an Ionosphere Institute. What a coincidence, since U.S.'s HAARP has also to do with ionosphere research. At least, this is their official explanation. Interestingly enough, in May, 2014 the U.S. Air Force gave official notice to Congress that it intends to dismantle the $300 million High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Gakona this summer. Apparently, ionosphere research is "not an area that they have any need for in the future and it would not be a good use of Air Force research funds to keep HAARP going". Yeah, right.
The military and government have plenty of money to keep this part of HAARP going it they wanted to. This announcement makes one wonder what exactly they have in place to continue the experiment and what the next phase is, since "We're moving on to other ways of managing the ionosphere." Despite the prevalent belief, that HAARP has to do with weather control, instead being busy with various mind control activities is a distinct possibility. Think about it, when was the last time hundreds of millions were spent for the good and well being humanity or for the sake of science. They aren't going to come out and say "Yep, you got us. We are using HAARP for mind control."
