International treaties, the neutrality of Belgium. Neutrality of Luxembourg. Armistice of Brest-Litowsk. (Prohibition of transport of troops from the Russian front to the French front). Solemn treaty signed in 1831. Confirmed in 1839. A scrap of paper in 1914. 2. The Geneva Rules of War (1864-1906) Maltreatment. Petrograd (1868) initial use of asphyxiating gases, burning liquids. The Hague (1899-1907). Use of incendiary devices, viruses and poisons. Official premeditation admitted in Kriegsbrauch (instruction manual for German staff officers).
