International Law For All Except Al Queda

Posted on July 13, 2006

Amnesty International today concerning Israel:

“Amnesty International urged Israel to abide by international law Thursday”

Amnesty International on the United States:

“There must be full disclosure of all other US “war on terror” detentions, which should be brought into full compliance with international law.”

But nowhere could I find a single reference where Amnesty International encouraged al Queda to follow that part of Geneva Convention (international law) which would mean al Queda detainees would lawfully be covered by the convention:

(a) That of being commanded by a person responsible for his subordinates;

(b) That of having a fixed distinctive sign recognizable at a distance;

(c) That of carrying arms openly;

(d) That of conducting their operations in accordance with the laws and customs of war.

One Response to “International Law For All Except Al Queda”

The U.S. Constitution does not allow for a global government so at most international law is a gentleman’s agreement that Congress can override as they wish since they have the right to declare war; and of course anything short of war.
