The Geneva Convention has always been hard to enforce due to its writers being pretty far removed from the battlefield in question and failing to properly understand the realities of what's going on leading to numerous jokes about the "Geneva Suggestions". Laws can often be broken by both sides to gain a military advantage and more blatant violations can easily get swept under the rug in order to protect more capable commanders. That said, targeting enemy children that aren't a threat is unnecessarily brutal and can easily cause some really nasty resentment making the war far more destructive than necessary, which is what the rules of war were designed to prevent. While this conflict has the presence of combatants like the Northern Ocean Princess, the Northern Little Sister, PT Imps, Akatsuki, and the kaiboukans making interpretations of "age" far more up in the air compared to normal humans, the victims here are clearly underdeveloped compared even to the examples I provided considerably simplifying the issue and the presence of an enemy combatant who may be willing to testify about the situation in the war crimes trial stacks things against these "poachers" even further.

In short: they're fucked.
Don't think the Abyssals are even considered a nation-state with rights to self-determination, forget a signatory of any of the Geneva or Hague conventions, and at least with Kancolle doujins, shipgirls rarely have inalienable rights, forget the Abyssals.
Furthermore, considering how widespread the abyssal threat is and the fact that they do not recognize civilian from military as far as we know, you'd think no quarter and total war would be norm for most militaries, considering all abyssal targets as legitimate targets part of the enemy war machine.
If anything I'm surprised Victorian, Edwardian and World War-era massacres of children and the unarmed aren't more common, especially if there are bounties on Abyssal trophies like the scalper days.

OTOH, their previous actions may have lead to high command looking for an excuse to get rid of them...
Could also be Firestar, the artist didn't specify and I can't tell since the other front paw isn't visible... But the feminine appearance makes me think Squirrelstar.
NVM, compared to artist's design of Squirrelstar. Definitely Firestar.
