Humans have committed war crimes against one another since wars were fought with clubs and stones, and for centuries war crimes were accepted as part of the horrendous price of waging war. As war evolved, so did a body of treaties and laws that sought to regulate the treatment of soldiers and civilians involved in war. The Hague Conventions were international treaties negotiated at the First and Second Peace Conferences at The Hague, Netherlands, in 1899 and 1907, and were, along with the Geneva Conventions, among the first formal statements of the laws of war and war crimes in international law. Article 147 of the Fourth Geneva Convention defines war crimes as: Willful killing, torture or inhuman treatment including . . . willfully causing great suffering or serious injury to body or health, unlawful deportation or transfer or unlawful confinement of a protected person of the rights of fair and regular trial, . . . taking of hostages and extensive destruction and appropriation of property, not justified by military necessity and carried out unlawfully and wantonly.
