Last week TruePublica reported
via DroneWarsUK that the UK’s Ministry of Defence was frequently using a
specific weapon in Syria that by any standard, is so horrific, it is
considered illegal. According to the International Committee of the Red
Cross, the International Criminal Court (ICC) – The “employment of a thermobaric weapon against a population is about half of a war crime.”
And the only reason the use of thermobaric weapons isn’t a war crime is
in fact because the international community has yet to officially name
them as cruel weapons against the spirit of just about every single law
of war that exists.
We said: “The question of their use anywhere in the world by
British forces should be put to the government and it does not warrant
the usual muted response behind ‘national security.”
