	Just War Theory [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		What has been of great interest is that in the headline wars of the past decade, the dynamic interplay of the rules and conventions of warfare not only remain intact on the battlefield but their role and hence their explication have been awarded a higher level of scrutiny and debate.
		In such cases, the ethic of war is considered, or is implicitly held to be, beyond the norms of peaceful ethics and therefore deserving a separate moral realm where "fair is foul and foul is fair" (Shakespeare, Macbeth I.i).
		In waging war it is considered unfair and unjust to attack indiscriminately since non-combatants or innocents are deemed to stand outside the field of war proper.

		Geneva Convention (I) for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field
		Several of the post-World War II war crimes trials confirmed that civilians and low-level officials can be held criminally liable for informing on neighbors who were opposed to the Nazi regime or were part of the underground resistance, where such neighbors were immediately thereafter arrested, tortured and executed without trial.
		This exclusion was due to the fact that the Convention was drafted during the height of the cold war, during which the Soviet Union and other totalitarian governments feared that they would face interference in their internal affairs if genocide was defined to include such acts.
