While I tend to agree with you, the International Committee of the Red Cross does not:


Honestly, things are so different now from when the convention was written that it probably needs to be revisited. In '49 pictures would have been distributed by the warring parties through newspapers, now a random citizen with a phone can share them to the world on Twitter. Whatever your view on where the line sits regarding photos I would think we can all surely agree that there's a world of difference between sharing a photo of a PoW phoning their mum and drinking tea and bombing civilian targets.

Yeah i'd definitely agree with that.

It's likely the convention was written to prevent POW's being shown tortured / abused, which could then be displayed publically to their families.

Ahh I thought they were one and the same person, it's been a while.

nah Chemical Ali was Saddam cousin or brother or son who got him name chlorine gassing Kurd developments villages and towns.

The disinformation minister was just some schoolmaster seconded to the army during the war to read out ********.
 
Offensive vs defensive I guess, sure the line is blurred but I think generally fighters are classified as on offensive weapon

Im guessing Poland just looking for clarification that should they give the jets that the whole of NATO agrees its acceptable risk that Putin may seek to hit Poland for doing it and trigger full NATO response.
People seem to be forgetting the Bayraktar TB2 UCAVs that turkey sent before the invasion, I think it could be more to do with sending offensive weapons to a country that’s already in conflict with another, had Poland sent them before the invasion I’m sure that would have been acceptable. Not certain with the above statement just hypostasising.
