In war, some weapons are so dangerous that many countries are committed to banning them altogether. Yet these very weapons continue to be used in conflicts today, despite various treaties that prohibit them. So what weapons are illegal in war? And will these laws actually be upheld?

ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I’m 26, and I’m a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master’s degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other experiences that I have made during my time in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE 🙂
