Sovereignty
One of the principles of being a sovereign nation is that you can do whatever you want inside your own borders and no one else gets a say. If you can’t then you aren’t sovereign and are a client/puppet state
Rules of war aren’t so much “this is illegal and you’ll get arrested” so much as “this isn’t actually strategically useful and just causes unnecessary suffering so we’ll support your opponent”. Basically everything that’s “illegal” in war is on the list because it doesn’t actually help win wars
So in the end it comes down to – will someone invade you for using tear gas on your own citizens? Likely no, yay sovereignty! They don’t want you meddling in their internal affairs either. Will someone invade you for using tear gas on your neighbor’s citizens? Well definitely your neighbor but likely their friends too
