customs of war  

Definición

  • Soldiers know that you never use an umbrella while in uniform, and they know that you do not fire upon a white flag. Today these precepts are written into such varied codes as international law and military regulations, but long before such codification took place, soldiers followed these and many other unwritten rules, based upon their understanding of the “customs of war.” It is generally known that today's Laws of War—the body of international law that attempts to regulate the conduct of warfare—are the products of a series of international conferences beginning with one held in Geneva in 1863.
