International Rules Against War and Atrocities

The world actually has a rulebook that stops countries from destroying each other.

It is called the UN Charter and it basically makes starting a war illegal unless it is strict

self-defense. We literally have laws for combat called the Geneva Convention that

say you cannot target civilians or hospitals. If a leader commits genocide or war crimes,

the International Criminal Court can actually hunt them down and put them on trial.

We even have the Responsibility to Protect, meaning nations have to step in

to stop mass atrocities. It is messy, but without these rules, we would be living

in total anarchy.
