This gave me a good laugh. In the process of researching and then finishing my essay on War Crimes I came across this rather retarded article. Imagine if you could commit a War Crime in a video game. No more Scud Storms, ini Nukes in Falout 3 or "No Russian" in CoD.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has been forced to explicitly deny that players of video games that simulate warfare could be guilty of committing war crimes.
The Red Cross recently discussed video games and their relationship with international humanitarian laws (IHL) at its 31st International Conference.
According to reports, the committee also discussed whether war crimes standards should apply to the virtual victims of war video games.
Don't make me laugh.

The red cross is based in Geneva and the conference was held there?
That is to much like work, I would play it on the PC and just run the trainer.
