 "Can a country attack the nuclear locations of the enemy, know what Section 56 of Janewa Convention? – News-Patiala English")
Israel Iran War and Geneva Convention: The last seven days in the middle of Israel and Iran is running a terrible war. During this time, Israel has attacked several soldiers and nuclear stores. Iran also has given a hard response to missiles. Is the largest and secure nuclear whereorma in Iran. This center is deep in the ground between the hills.
Israel has failed to attack this center. Reports, Israel is now waiting for the American bomb to destroy this center. Well, this was about Iran-Israel war. But the greatest question is whether a country attacks the nuclear sect of his enemy? Article 56 of Janewa Convention What does it say about it?
In fact, Janewa Convention is an international rule. Its aim to protect people during the war. Article was added in 56 1977. This particularly talks about the security of the places where dangerous things can come out. This includes big dams and nuclear power plant. It says that if an attack spreads radioactive radiation and harms the common people, the goals should not be attacked. That is, if Iran’s nuclear centers are attacked and spreads from the radiation, it will be against the rules.
The exception of the rule
But there is an exception of the rule. If a nuclear center is helping military work directly and this is the only way to stop it. The condition is that military benefits should be more than harm to normal people. If Israel says Iran is trying to make a bomb from his nuclear centers, he can call it military requirement. But it is difficult to prove. Also, attack with a sense of revenge is prohibited.
But the reality is different. The rules of Janewa Convention are not bound on every country. The countries like USA, Israel and India have not accepted the additional protocol of 1977. This means that Israel is not tied to this rule. In recent times, Israel has attacked the nuclear centers like Iran’s arts and forests. The Israel says it was necessary to protect him, because Iran can create nuclear weapons. Iran says his program is peaceful.
The British attack does not increase the level of radiation in the attack
The international nuclear energy agency (IAEA) said that the British attack did not increase the level of radiation. It shows that there is a big threat till so far. But experts say that if deep borders are attacked in the future, the risk of radiation can increase. Section 56 of Janewa Convention gives a warning that such attack can harm the normal citizens.
Iran has considered the war announcement to Israel’s attacks. It has taken action. Meanwhile, the United States said he is not involved in the battle, but supporting Israel. Some people believe that the purpose of Israel is to weaken the government of Iran, not just to stop the nuclear program. On the other hand, Iran says it is an attack on his sovereignty.
The International community is divided on it. Europe has appealed to peace, but no tough action has been made. Russia and China has condemned Israel, but not concrete steps. The UN Security Council has only expressed concern. It is clear that the rules of Janewa Convention is difficult to apply, especially when the big country attend.
