Title

Discuss the relationship between command responsibility and JCE3. Address specifically the argument that if JCE3 applies then any acts of violence committed by service members against civilians (such as rape) will be war crimes because such acts are foreseeable during war. Also address whether the approach of applying JCE3 to war crimes dictates that commanders will always be war criminals when pursuing a war.
