The Bataan Death March is considered a war crime due to the brutal treatment of American and Filipino prisoners of war by the Japanese military during World War II. Forced to march over 65 miles in harsh conditions without adequate food, water, or medical care, many prisoners suffered from exhaustion, violence, and executions. The treatment violated the Geneva Conventions, which outline the humane treatment of prisoners, making the march an egregious breach of wartime conduct. As a result, it is remembered as a significant atrocity in military history.
