I am personally a little confused  by this thread. I have always believed 
that the victor would conduct trials of "war criminals", e.g. artillery 
commanders using "inappropriate" calibers against personnel. I have yet to 
hear of a war crimes trial held by the loser of the conflict. Geneva is and 
always will be a joke.
