Summary/Abstract: The NATO aggression on Yugoslavia, in addition to the indisputable violations of the Charter of the United Nations, abounds in violations of international law of armed conflicts. Nearly all rules of international law of armed conflicts have been violated, but particularly drastic were violations of rules of war and, particularly, violations of obligations to employ unavoidable and necessary force to the extent enough to achieve military objectives. Those violations are so seriouos that it may be concluded that NATO has employed force with the intention to cause as large destructions as possible, applying a long ago forbbiden and left concept of “total war” intended to frighten and torture the civilian population
