Something the Ukrainians are doing is broadcasting photos and videos of captured and killed Russians. I keep hearing that it is a violation of the Geneva convention – or is in some way a war crime – to release photos or videos of prisoners/ corpses that leaves the face identifiable. I don’t doubt this, and I can see the point of it… but *how* can this be a war crime for civilians, when it’s typically not illegal to broadcast photos and videos of criminals or accident victims? Is it illegal if the Ukrainian army or civilian government does it, but not if some average Joe does it?
