> So, how do you call acts of agression performed by governments against non combatants?

War crimes.

The reason not to call it terrorism is because that is not what the word means. If a sovereign nation formally declares war to another, any action covered by international convention is classified seperately from "civil" or militant violence.

If you want to learn more about international humanitarian law there’s an excellent MOOC from UC Louvain on EdX.
