I'll never understand the concept of "Rules of War"
The goal of a war is to win, you do that by killing your enemy (or at the very least inflicting damage until your enemy surrenders or is beaten into submission)

In many ways - and by no means all - it is more powerful countries that try to create such rules in order to increase their advantages.
Even the very idea of what constitutes a "win" at war varies from culture to culture. One nation may consider survival at all to be a "win". (Saddam, 1991).
