The Taliban's disdain for the Geneva convention is not an example to be replicated. To wage war outside of international law undermines the legitimacy of the winner and the legacy of those who died. If anybody is found to have committed murder, then they should face the same sentencing as anybody else. This should not be unduly harsh; convicted soldiers should be entitled to the same mitigating factors in sentencing as civilians.
