I sometimes wish the world these people live in existed, because it sounds so much better than reality. Because I spend most times playing games wishing we could just kill the bad guys instead of letting them get away to make continuous trouble.
assuming a set of responsibilities that included responding to people in crisis, defusing landmines, and submitting to journalists’ interviews
One of these seems not like the others and in fact betrays something I think that inspired a lot of this initiative.
calling on governments to impose regulations forcing developers to limit violations like torture, extrajudicial executions, attacks on civilians, and other atrocities if they could not be convinced to do so voluntarily
So if people won't submit to your idea you want to government to force them to do so. How humanitarian of you, I'm sure that doesn't run opposite to almost every other time in history the government did something like that.
Also, how many games do these limits actually violate? Because in almost any game attacking civilians comes with heavy penalties and is outright discouraged in pretty much the same manner as real life. Torture I haven't seen since like Manhunt, and most killing in games happens in either outright combat zones (where the judicial system doesn't apply the same way) or in worlds without a judicial system like ours to begin with.
Like, this feels like Jack Thompson misunderstanding and then whining about GTA again, but now its CoD and treating it as the only game in existence.

If you want to set gooks on fire with napalm you could check out Rising Storm 2: Vietnam on Steam
Don't forget the Willy Pete.
SEAs aren't human, so they lack the human rights to violate.
Except that game is zero fun no matter which side or class you play.
