You misunderstood the origin - there is no military reference. It can be
understood regarding rap music, where artists perform in a given setting.

Typically hitting civilians, mines effectively violate the Geneva treaty
and are understood to be a war crime.

These countries are the prominent for not being subject to international
jurisdiction and cannot be made responsible for war crimes.

I don't see, in what way a decision based on ethics could prefer one way
for committing war crimes over another.

It's worse to hand over decision on war in peace to technology.
