re: #167 Nyet

I don’t think the international law allows for torture and murder even of partisans (i.e. not uniformed).

I would assume, given the context of the tweet, the question was on the other end, i.e. if the Wagner Group could be prosecuted for war crimes, being an independent paramilitary force. My assumption was that paramilitary forces operated under color of state action would be expected to abide by the Conventions, provided their employer was a signatory, but perhaps this is not an explicit requirement, leaving a bit of wiggle room as suggested here: re: #166 Teukka
