Diet Bill #004The Rules of War

As war is a nasty thing and most definitely something of a regional concern, but, noting that there will be occasions where conflict between members of The South cannot be prevented, the following are established as rules of war to limit civilian casualties, permanent environmental damage, and other negative externalities caused by war.
  • No Southern nation may instigate conflict with another unless a Declaration of War is issued within 48 hours of the first attack.
  • No Southern nation may attack persons, locales, or vehicles which are, beyond a reasonable doubt, being used for peaceful and/or medical use.
  • The flying of a white flag is only to be used to signal a desire for peaceful communication.
  • Firing on a person or vehicle bearing a white flag and hailing from a Southern nation is prohibited unless said person or vehicle is clearly in violation of the clause prior to this one.
  • The use of Weapons of Mass Destruction against Southern nations is banned, except as retaliation against Weapons of Mass Destruction, or as a measure to prevent imminent destruction. For purposes of this bill, Weapon of Mass Destruction is defined as a weapon with the capability to cause or intent of causing death and/or destruction on a high enough level that its very existence can be considered a threat, often of a nuclear, biological, or chemical nature.
  • The use of scorched-earth tactics against Southern nations is banned, except in the case of locations supplying the military or purely military locales.
  • The use of time travel is banned.
  • Prisoners of war, noncombatants, and soldiers hailing from Southern nations who have surrendered are to be treated as humanely as possible.
  • Sick or wounded troops hailing from Southern nations are not to be mutilated, tortured, or experimented on, and may not be killed without just cause.
  • War may not be instigated for the purpose of conquest of a Southern nation or for the purpose of total annihilation of a Southern nation.
  • With the exception of Weapons of Mass Destruction, Merriam-Webster's Online dictionary is to be used for all definitions within this bill.
