You are a legal advisor in the Department of the Army. Part of your job is to assess whether new weapons are legal to be used in an armed conflict. You review a new type of non-lethal weapon that might be used in urban riot control settings. The new weapon does not harm people, but it makes them feel like their skin is on fire.

• Should this pass the assessment and be utilized in a wartime setting? What about in a urban riot? Why or why not?
