what law is this exactly? can you cite the clause you're referring to?

there's a just war theory, but no actual law as far as i'm aware.
Bish; I think, if I read it correctly, It is right here in the Geneva Protocols:

Article 96.-Treaty relations upon entry into force of this Protocol
1. When the Parties to the Conventions are also Parties to this Protocol, the Conventions shall apply as supplemented by this Protocol.

2. When one of the Parties to the conflict is not bound by this Protocol, the Parties to the Protocol shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations. They shall furthermore be bound by this Protocol in relation to each of the Parties which are not bound by it, if the latter accepts and applies the provisions thereof.
