A reprisal is a limited and deliberate violation of international law to punish another sovereign state that has already broken them.[1][2] Since the 1977 Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions (AP 1), reprisals in the laws of war are extremely limited,[3] as they commonly breach the rights of non-combatants.
