It was actually the Hague Convention of 1899 that prohibited "bullets that flatten" for use in international warfare. Turning them on domestic targets doesn't conflict because it isn't "international".

Off the top of my head, no.
But that hardly matters, Genevia specifies valid military targets, Hague is the one that specifies [un]acceptable weapons.
