"considered in violation of the conventions of warfare"

-I thought war was what happened when diplomacy failed?
For the most part, there seems to have been a universal understanding of cultural dignity/respect throughout history during the times inbetween battles........but I thought there were few instances where battles were conducted on a purely symbolic basis.
The British line-up-in-red-and-get-shot routine is one, both sides of the US civil war was another. Can't think of any others at the time.
