From a practical, legal point of view, there is the weird human condition that considers war to be a legal activity, but going around and capping the other side, or taking their leaders into incarceration is no longer assumed to be illegal. Presumably all of our lawyers are far too busy on really important stuff and do not have the bandwidth to deal with such mere pedantic points.
