In time of war, other conflict or occupation, collective punishment is a war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention. Thus a former government of Israel stands accused for denying power and water to occupied territories, not to mention other restrictions.
But what are we to make of the West preventing access to their own money by the Afghans?
Or UK's refusal to return the Iranian money paid by the Shah for a contract we did not fulfil?
Or sanctioning Belarus because we do not like its dictatorial government?
