I think grouping Napalm along with some of the more horrible chemical and biological agents is quite misleading.
I think the reason why we choose to ban the use of those weapons is that:
1: Their effects are too hard to control. You have little knowledge about who will actually die from them, and they can have lingering effects.
2: They are deliberately designed to kill people as painfully as possible.
There is a great difference in deep-frying a few select people in a bunker and letting loose a plague.
