(Photo: Reuters)Thailand has accused Cambodia of war crimes and violations of international humanitarian law in attacking Thai civilian areas and discarding the bodies of its own soldiers on the battlefield. “That is considered using civilians as human shields, which violates international humanitarian law,” the joint press centre said. “Such attacks constitute direct attacks on civilians, which are war crimes under international law,” the joint press centre said. They “constitute a threat to peace and security and undermine efforts to resolve the conflict peacefully", the joint press centre said.
