War crimes are no longer shameful. That should terrify you
Summary
An opinion piece by Philippe Bolopion of Human Rights Watch argues that top leaders increasingly dismiss international humanitarian law in the Middle East. It highlights public rhetoric by Trump, Hegseth, and Israeli officials, cites civilian casualties including a school attack in Minab, and details attempts to suppress information online. The piece urges immediate documentation of war crimes using satellite imagery, intercepts, and open-source footage, and calls on governments and UN bodies to uphold accountability during ongoing conflicts.
