No,, not really,,,, this is quoted from the first sentence
of your reference:
"The purpose of this book is to explore the ways in which domestic courts are dealing with international human rights issues in their respective jurisdictions."
"In their respective Jurisdictions" whose court is in jurisdiction in GITMO??
Whose court was in Jurisdiction in Afghanistan? (Hint: Not the Afghans) They were destroyed and the taliban had ruined their legal and governing systems, and were headed toward genocide of all the afghan people (I know I went there to fight)
The country was out of control, so that criminal terrorist organizations were hiding out, out of the reach of an effective govt and any punishment. The "world" still respecting the Afghan sovereignty did not attack until the attacks from Al Queda forced us to act, then with the Afghan Govt permission the congress and senate declared war, the president cant do that.
That is why we went into Afghanistan.
The problem is, these were "Non-uniformed combatants,, ie No country sponsoring them, so they do not fall under the declaration of war either.. so they are like pirates, without an international law to govern them...
"Human rights were being violated by the taliban and all these people who were captured, you dont just get there because they pick you up off the street, that isnt true.
Why do you not care for the innocent women and children these people were butchering??? That seems pretty callous.
If the shoe were on your foot, and these men were in your neighborhood throwing acid in girls faces, and cutting heads off christians and islamics who arent taliban, would you want help or not?
These men, knew what they were doing, I listened to the interogations and captured POWs in Afghanistan, according to them, they were all innocent.
But somebody is shooting burning and killing women and girls,,, wonder who it was,,, Americans?????
