3. Good. If they're doing this now, before the nation is secured, then discipline is breaking down. . .

and the Ukrainians' task to repel the invader will be easier.

4. International law and international treaties prohibit pillage in armed conflict.

The Lieber Code, the Brussels Declaration (1874) and the Oxford Manual have recognized the prohibition against pillage.

The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 (modified in 1954) obliges military forces not only to avoid the destruction of enemy property, but also to provide for its protection.

Article 8 of the Statute of the International Criminal Court provides that in international warfare, the "pillaging a town or place, even when taken by assault," is a war crime.

The Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 explicitly prohibits the looting of civilian property during wartime.
