The act of removing organs from POWs violates the Geneva Conventions, which protect the dignity and rights of prisoners of war. Such actions, if confirmed, could be subject to international prosecution and sanctions.

'If confirmed'? I'd think the body being returned without internal organs would be confirmation enough.

What other excuse could Putin use? That rats got to the body and only ate the heart, liver and kidneys?

Would this be the first Geneva violation? Or this is consisted worse than pillaging and raping?

Or kidnapping, or, you know, invading a sovereign nation.

In all fairness, Geneva doesn't forbid war, just tries to set some humane rules.

That sentence broke my brain.
