More “ammunition” (from the almighty ‘pen’ as distinct from the sword), against war and war crimes. The warring situation has become so widespread and out of common-sense control that it seems impossible to see the end or even to see any methodology that might bring about such an end.

The ‘pens’ of the propagandists and the promoters of purgatory are apparently mightier than the ‘pens’ of the righteous.
