"War crimes and crimes against humanity" is a current topic which is being discussed today as never before in history. One might wonder whether there was a war without crimes. War means nothing else than a heap of crimes. The world renowned historian who was the Head of the History Faculty in London University, Sir Arnold Toynbee says that since human civilisation began the longest period that prevailed without a war in any part of the world was 14 years. That is an adequate proof to understand that man is greedy and in quest for power and wealth than for anything else. Aristotle in his wisdom has said that "every fool in this world thinks that he is born to rule others".
