Combating terrorism is a war crime. We can see that today in Israel, a country that was attacked by terrorism and that the world doesn´t want to allow to defend itself.
"COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — A Swedish court on Thursday acquitted a former Syrian army general accused of playing a role in war crimes in his home country more than a decade ago.
Brig. Gen. Mohammed Hamo, who now lives in Sweden, was charged in February with aiding and abetting crimes against international law. Prosecutors said that as head of the Ordnance Department of the Syrian Army’s 11th Division, he was responsible for providing the weapons that were used to commit war crimes in 2012.
The prosecutor alleged that Hamo had participated in the division’s indiscriminate attacks on military and civilian targets in and around the Syrian cities of Homs and Hama.
The Stockholm District Court said it was “clear that the Syrian army’s warfare in the conflict included indiscriminate attacks in violation of international law” there.
However, Judge Katarina Fabian said the evidence that the prosecutor relied on was not sufficient to convict Hamo.
Swedish news agency TT said that Hamo was the highest-ranking military officer ever to stand trial in a European court for international human rights violations in Syria. Syria has been ravaged by civil war for over 13 years."
