Reprisal


About “Reprisal”:

A reprisal is a limited and deliberate violation of international law to punish another sovereign state that has already broken them. Since the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, reprisals in the laws of war are extremely limited, as they commonly breach the rights of non-combatants.
