Crimes de guerra

Na última edição da "London Review of Books", Michael Byers discute em detalhe os crimes de guerra cometidos por ambas as partes durante a recente guerra do Líbano.

Eis a sua conclusão geral:

"The absence of a reliable mechanism for prosecuting Hizbullah and Israeli leaders is less serious, however, than the support that Bush and Blair have given to clear violations of international law and the Geneva Conventions. The long term viability of these rules depends on the willingness of politicians - and the general public - to speak out in defence of international law."
