If any serious conflict in the vein of WW2 happens again, all those rules and regulations will go out the window, like they did in WW2.
While I do agree that we shouldn't forego of rules because it is hard to enforce them, at the moment it is really a matter of what's the country in question relations with the west rather than what happens on the ground.
If Assad is brought to answer, it won't be because of his crimes against civilians but because he opposed US idea for Syria and the region.
