Ethical and religious conflict defies sovereignty because it is such a violent confrontation that it sometimes leads to extremist actions that violate the provisions of the War Code and can lead to the genocide of the population.
Explanation:
The term Ethnic Conflict identifies any conflict that has in its essence the clash of people with religious, racial, cultural or geographical origins. Violent confrontation is always present and sometimes actions are so extreme that they violate the provisions of the War Code. This is the case of genocide, which brings to the death thousands or millions of people, without distinction between civilians and military, men, women or children. In some cases, especially in the Middle East, the term Religious Conflict is used instead of Ethnic Conflict because the religious motives are much more prominent in relation to the others.
