The Bataan Death March is considered a war crime because it involved the forced transfer of approximately 76,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war by the Japanese military in April 1942, during World War II. The march, which spanned around 65 miles under brutal conditions, resulted in thousands of deaths due to starvation, dehydration, and executions. The treatment of the prisoners violated the Geneva Conventions, which outline the humane treatment of captured soldiers. These actions were deemed atrocities and led to post-war trials where many Japanese leaders were held accountable.
