#  War C(brn)rimes

 Written by S Johnson on 18 November 2009.

The Netherlands was expected to press that the International Criminal Court expanded its definition of war crimes to include the use of CB weapons. The Netherlands was backing a Belgian measure to include chemical and biological weapons in War Crimes, as opposed to a Mexican proposal that designated the same classification for nuclear devices. The Dutch argued that making nuclear devices a war crime might result in nations ignoring the authority of the Court in the future.
