Hi Cliona, could you please direct me to some evidence to substantiate this observation. Things are rarely black and white in terms of motivations by groups or individuals, and risk of negative consequences is generally considered to underpin justice systems, even flawed ones.

With respect to the HRW Op-ed which you are critiquing the observation is perhaps well made in the context of what is being advanced by @LaetitiaBader, whose arguments look like a preemptive defence by going on the offence following her organisations failures.
I.E. a PR effort to deflect blame away from her own organisation and its institutional sponsors.
I am curious as to whether there is any empirical evidence around point that you make about the presence or lack of consequences for violent atrocities.

It seems to me that there are some nations and nationals of them which are more likely to be punished than others.
Also, that widespread impunity generally for acts of violence committed during internal conflicts by dominant parties (especially Govts) makes it very hard to find hard data on this question.
