Need a clarification in the Geneva Convention.
There are specific rules in place for armed conflicts dedicated to protect civilians. Especially European wars have made those necessary in order to have a framework to find and prosecute by having a clear definition of crimes in war during and after military conflicts criminal offenders in war.
Someone without a regular Uniform, which means civilian clothing, but a weapon engaging militantly in military conflicts can be executed without a trial. The same does not apply for a Paramedic or Civilian escaping from the battleground. All forces like Weapon SS that use War Crimes as normal tactics also can be killed without being granted trial or Prisoner of War rights by e.g Firing Squats or hanging them.
There are no clear frameworks for any force on how to proof that a set or group of civilians is an Irregular Combatant force and Psychological Warfare soldiers are not covered at all by any treaty.
Some of these massacres might have been regular and legal executions by firing squats as executed against e.g. Waffen SS members by Partisans and Ally forces during WW2.
War is a complex matter a fact only simple minds ignore.
