And you said I didn't look up the definitions? Despoiled does not mean grave robbing. Grave robbery can be a type of it but it also means quite a bit more as I have shown
Sadly, if not pathetically so, your newfound interest doesn't extend to actually looking up things before you say what you think they are. Or are you going to show me where "despoiled" is synonymous with grave robbing somewhere?
Once again,
Rule 113 (of the Geneva convention) states that “Each party to the conflict must take all possible measures to prevent the dead from being despoiled. Mutilation of dead bodies is prohibited.” This rule is applicable in both international and non-international armed conflicts.
Personally, I'm having a blast with these conversations with you and look forward to them every night.
