China
Practice Relating to Rule 38. Attacks against Cultural Property
China’s Law Governing the Trial of War Criminals (1946) provides that “destroying religious, charitable, educational, historical constructions or memorials” constitutes a war crime.
At the 18th International Conference of the Red Cross in Toronto in 1952, China levelled the accusation at the United States that “in Korea, … cultural, religious and charitable installations were wilfully destroyed”.
