What Cheney is trying to undo:<br /><br />The Nuremberg Trials, 1945-46<br />Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1948<br />Nuremberg Principles, 1950<br />Convention on the Abolition of the Statute of Limitations on War Crimes and Crimes against Humanity, 1968<br />The Geneva Convention, 1949<br />Geneva Convention Supplementary Protocols, 1977<br />The International Law Commission, 1950<br /><br />Civilization is tenuous at best, and all we have are legal precedents that bind us to core principles. Once we ignore this body of law, we turn into savages once more … having learned nothing from history. <br /><br />Cheney is a dangerous man trying to save his own neck by convincing a rabble that International Law means nothing.(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.com
