Today I watched the movie 'the secret of Berlin' where one of the elements of the movie is that act considered War Crime. I really liked the plastic of the film; and like every Soderbergh film it has an interesting ending.
From the film, something more subjective remained in me to consider: The need to conceptualize a war crime. - This simply demonstrates how complex the human being is. And so perhaps the idea of classifying some acts committed in a war, in a list of abominable acts, has its origin in the possibility of minimizing the brutality that, in a situation like that, would already be a recurring event. On the other hand, this effort, perhaps political, will come to suggest that a war is something acceptable by the nations, communities and their component individuals. War crimes are heinous acts within a larger heinous act.
A war must not be perceived as something acceptable, simple and normal. There are no 'war crimes'; THE CRIME to be considered by nations, by communities, by individuals is war itself!
PS: The Vietnamese girl runs naked and crying in the photo taken by photographer Huynh Cong 'Nick' Ut, from the Associated Press, because her body is raw, as a result of having taken a gas bath, launched by US fighter jets. Kim Phuc was just nine years old when the village where she lived was attacked. In 1994, she was designated a UNESCO ambassador and since then has been dedicated to promoting peace and to the Kim International Foundation, which helps children who are victims of war.
