I would imagine it similar to the Geneva Convention rules in real life. There are a set of rules, believe it or not, that govern what can and cannot be done during wartime. An example would be the use of flechette rounds (ammunition composed of tiny barbs/shards) in guns, which is prohibited due to the ammunition being deemed unnecessarily brutal, etc. Does this actually stop some people from using them? No, not entirely, but the rule remains intact and is presumably followed by all major nations.

I would imagine bloodbending to be under a similar system.
