War crimes in the Korean War

The Korean War was a major conflict of the Cold War and among the most destructive conflicts of the modern era, with approximately 3 million killed, most of whom were civilians. It resulted in the destruction of virtually all of Korea's major cities, with thousands of massacres committed by both sides—including the mass killing of civilians by the North Korean communists, and the mass killing of suspected communists by the South Korean government. North Korea became among the most heavily bombed countries in history.
