Practice Relating to Rule 145. Reprisals
Nigeria’s Military Manual (1994), in a section dealing with the 1977 Geneva Convention I and those upon whom reprisals are prohibited, states:
[In the cases where reprisals are prohibited], a belligerent party cannot claim a right to set aside the rules of the convention in order to induce the enemy to return to an attitude of respect for the law of armed conflict.
