- National and international law that defines and regulates the above.[2]
- Articles about any person or organization whose association with the above is a defining characteristic according to reliable sources.[3]
- History and historiography of the above.
- Memorials and depictions of the above in all media, such as music, film, poetry, and prose.
Eligibility:
- Articles that are about an armed conflict or battle during which war crimes occurred are not in scope.[4]
- Articles which deal with the period before the 1899 Hague Convention are not in scope.
