      They’re not publishing these photographs.

      They shouldn't be taking the photos, they shouldn't taunting the families of the dead. This is utterly vile.

      Someone has to keep a record to identify the dead and Russia’s not doing it. Russia is abandoning the bodies of its own troops to rot.

      Are people criticizing them for keeping records or for violating the Geneva Convention and using photographs to taunt the families of the dead? I think this part of the article is instructive.pic.twitter.com/Voz9O6d4gi

      You said that they shouldn’t be taking photographs of them at all and I was responding to your argument. And what’s the textual support for this being a war crime? They’re not holding the soldiers as objects of public curiosity, they’re privately notifying families.

      Here's a run down of the law. And sending photos to strangers (who may or may not be family) is a form of publishing as well as taunting. This is really sadistic stuff.https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/03/03/telegram-russian-war-dead-ukraine-pows/ …

      That WaPo speculates that there may be violations of the Geneva convention afoot, but the section on the Geneva Convention they link to doesn’t even facially support their argument.

      The document the story links to in support of their claims only applies to the treatment of prisoners of war, not casualties on the battlefield. This is either a major error or intellectual dishonesty on the part of the writer.

      Replying to @beyerstein @HeerJeet

      There are parts of the Geneva Convention that deal with respect for the dead, but if you read them, they seem mostly concerned with not mutilating, cannibalizing, or stealing from the dead. And taking care to identify them properly before burial.

      Having those Russian POWs do a press conference was indeed a violation of the Geneva Convention. But so far, I haven’t seen any evidence that Ukraine notifying next-of-kin is a violation of the GC.

      It's a novel form of tormenting survivors. It should be in tested in court.
