Has your nation committed a war crime?

[Great American United States]

In 1991, during the Gulf War, two USAF F-117 Nighthawks dropped two GBU-27 laser-guided bombs on a bomb shelter in the Amiriyah neighborhood of Baghdad, in Iraq. Over 400 were killed, and U.S. officials later admitted fault, stating that the shelter was misidentified as an operations base for the Iraqi Army.

Another war crime was during counter-insurgency operations in Haiti, in the town of Saint Jean. On June 18th, 2017, several suspected members of the Haiti Liberation Army were captured hiding in the town, which had a population of around 2000. U.S. army troops rounded up 75 villagers for questioning, all of whom were later executed by gunshot.
